COP29, the 2024 UN Conference of the Parties on Climate Change, ran from November 11-22 in Azerbaijan.

The main decision was how to pay for poorer nations' climate financing - decarbonisation, adaptation, and resilience to climate impacts – which are hitting them hardest despite contributing the least.

The major win of the event was an eleventh-hour agreement on carbon markets, while some other negotiations failed the reach their goals, or reached an impasse.
