What’s in store at COP29 – the ‘first finance COP’

Upcoming debate on helping developing nations fund decarbonisation means next week’s United Nations Climate Change Conference is being dubbed the ‘first finance COP’.

Such support is just one of several key issues – and with organisations under increased pressure to accelerate net zero commitments, the outcome of COP29 will be critical for determining next steps.

Read Mitie’s new mini guide to learn the themes and issues that will be front and centre in Baku, Azerbaijan, and how they’ll impact your organisation.

‘A look ahead at COP29’ explores five key areas that will influence the conference and outcomes for business, people and the planet, including:

  • Global upheaval and its impact on decarbonisation
  • Signs of progress despite the challenge of reaching net zero
  • Finding a balance between investing in decarbonisation and mitigating the effects of climate change
  • Phasing out fossil fuels

As the UK nears its 2030 target of reducing emissions by 68% compared to 1990 levels, the clock is ticking louder than ever.
