SDG PAVILION NEWSLETTER @ COP29

Monday, 11 November 2024

The official opening of UN Climate Change Conference (COP29/ CMP 19/ CMA 6) in Baku, Azerbaijan, set an urgent and critical tone for addressing the accelerating impacts of climate change. The WMO’s State of the Climate 2024 Update, released as COP29 opened, underscored the immediacy of the challenge, with 2024 on track to be the warmest year yet. Referred to as the “Finance COP,” COP29 will center around discussions on climate finance, with an agreement expected on the New Quantified Goal on Climate Finance (NCQG), setting a new climate finance target that UNFCCC Executive Secretary Simon Stiell emphasized as crucial for all nations’ well-being, including the wealthiest and powerful. This COP also marks a pivotal point ahead of the next round of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) due in early 2025, with hopes that discussions will bolster momentum for increased ambition.

12th Session of the World Urban Forum

Finance was a major theme—where to get it, how to get it, and how to improve city authorities’ chances of getting it. Speakers suggested looking to international and domestic capital markets, and preparing infrastructure projects to be ‘investment-ready.’

Participants discussed the housing affordability crisis, and how cities can reduce carbon emissions. A full slate of artistic displays—street art, a drum circle, a mural in progress, and a fashion show with a difference—brought day two to life.
