COP29 round-up—21 November 2024 (Nature and Biodiversity, Indigenous People, Gender Equality and Oceans and Coastal zones)
On 21 November 2024, the eleventh day of the 29th Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) focused on nature and biodiversity, indigenous people, gender equality, and oceans and coastal zones. The COP29 Presidency published new drafts on key issues, including the new collective quantitative goal on climate finance (NCQG), which was rejected by several countries. In addition, the COP29 Presidency launched the Water for Climate Action, the UK Minister for Nature, Mary Creagh, announced funding for marine protection projects, the Baku Workplan was adopted to enhance Indigenous and local community participation in climate action, and the European Commission convened a press conference on nationally determined contribution (NDC) targets. Annabel Walker, Senior Associate at Freeths, also provides commentary on the eleventh day of COP29.
