    November 18–22, 2024

    This week:

    We dive into the highlights, controversies, and challenges of COP29 in Azerbaijan. While ambitious climate commitments were announced, such as the UN's 81% emissions reduction target by 2035 and Indonesia’s plans for net zero by 2060, skepticism remains about how these goals will be achieved. The conference also saw significant milestones, including the establishment of global carbon market standards under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, which could dramatically reduce the cost of implementing NDCs. However, criticism marred the summit, with allegations of fossil fuel deals overshadowing its mission. As global negotiations continue, the podcast underscores the necessity of these forums despite their imperfections, emphasizing their pivotal role in advancing climate action.
