PrintFrom 11-22 November 2024, United Nations Member States, civil society, and other stakeholders will gather in Baku, Azerbaijan for the 29th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29), also referred to at the UN conference on climate change. At this annual conference, governments' representatives come together to negotiate and agree upon actions to address climate change, such as limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius, helping vulnerable countries adapt to the effects of climate change, and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. In addition to delegates from UN Member States, climate-concerned leaders from civil society, indigenous groups, academia, younger generations, and the private sector will also assemble to discuss how to accelerate a collective response to the climate crisis. At COP29, all of these actors will discuss the key priority of establishing a new goal on climate finance, ensuring every country has the means to take strong climate action, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and build resilient communities.
