COP29 in Baku today made a major breakthrough, setting clear standards for carbon credits under Article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement. This is a huge step for global climate action, bringing integrity and demand to the carbon market. For CCUS, this is a game-changer. With these standards in place, CCUS projects can attract more investment, using carbon credits to fuel the scaling we need to reach climate goals. It’s a big win for moving carbon management forward worldwide! #Article6.4 #COP29 #CarbonMarkets #CCUS

Reflecting on the recent developments at #COP29, it's evident that the conference has faced significant challenges, from Azerbaijan's tumultuous start to the dominance of #finance and #fossilfuel discussions. Have these issues have overshadowed the core mission of addressing #climatechange effectively? Has the heavy influence of fossil fuel interests and the complex financial negotiations diverted attention from actionable #climate solutions. This raises a critical question: Are we truly focusing on what matters most? As we navigate these complexities, it's imperative to realign our efforts toward tangible climate action. We must ensure that the primary goal—mitigating climate change and safeguarding people and our planet—remains at the forefront of these global discussions.

🌍 Navigating the Future of Global Climate Efforts Amidst Political Shifts As the world prepares for COP29 in Baku, 11-22 Nov 2024, the election of Donald Trump has stirred discussions around the future of global climate action. Despite concerns, leaders of the Paris Agreement remain optimistic about the ongoing momentum towards #decarbonisation. Key insights: 🔹 Trump’s potential withdrawal from the Paris Agreement raises questions about US involvement in global climate finance. 🔹 Major global leaders and financial executives are choosing not to attend COP29, citing geopolitical concerns. 🔹 The strategic focus of the summit remains firm: achieving new climate finance goals is crucial to supporting green transitions in developing countries. 🔹 There’s a resilient economic momentum driving the clean energy transition, which experts believe will continue despite political hurdles. 🌱 The global shift towards sustainable solutions continues to present opportunities for innovation and collaboration. As Christiana Figueres states, clean energy technologies not only outperform fossil fuels but also address their volatility and inefficiency. 📊 The challenge now is to maintain this momentum and ensure that strategic actions are taken to safeguard the planet and future generations. #ClimateAction #Sustainability #COP29 #EnergyTransition #ParisAgreement #UN #Azerbaijan

While the world holds its breath as the US presidential elections unfold, are you possibly a bit fuzzy about what's on the agenda in the upcoming COP29 climate talks in the next two weeks (November 11-22) in Baku, Azerbaijan, and why it matters, a lot? The Singapore Straits Times does a good job in this article giving the cliff notes version of why COP29 matters, from global climate finance, carbon markets, climate mitigation and adaptation, to the all-important nexus between climate and nature/biodiversity.

COPs has historically been a disappointment for many Pacific Islanders who have sacrificed their time, resource and energy. But they continue to power on each year because if they don’t than who will, if the Pacific is not represented than how will big emitters know the devastating impact that the climate crisis has on our people. I’m blessed to be here reporting at COP29 once again, and before the opening much more is happening on the background. #COP29 #Pacific #ClimateJustice #FinanceCOP Please find below my pre-COP story.
