In a year of accelerating climate extremes and energy security crises, international collaboration to drive forward climate action has never been more essential – especially as the world is still far off track to reduce emissions in line with the Paris Agreement.

The 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP29), will be hosted in Baku, Azerbaijan, from 11 - 22 November 2024.

Countries will come together to discuss progress on the Paris Agreement through action on climate finance; implementing emissions reductions pledges; and enabling adaptation to the harms caused by climate change, in particular for those countries and communities that are most vulnerable. Practical action will be at the centre of COP negotiations, with record breaking temperatures over the last 12 months providing a stark reminder of the need to accelerate efforts in mitigation, adaptation and climate finance.
