World agrees to climate deal on financial aid for developing countries after summit nearly implodes
Juan Carlos Monterrey-Gomez, Special Representative for Climate Change and National Climate Change Director of the Ministry of Environment of Panama, speaks to the media as he emerges from a meeting on day twelve at the UNFCCC COP29 Climate Conference on November 23, 2024 in Baku, Azerbaijan. The COP29, which was scheduled to end yesterday, has gone into overtime, with parties meeting and deliberating over the text of the final agreement following heavy criticism by a wide array of delegates of earlier drafts. The COP29 is bringing together stakeholders, including international heads of state and other leaders, country delegations, scientists, environmentalists, indigenous peoples representatives, activists and others to discuss and agree on the implementation of global measures towards mitigating the effects of climate change. According to the United Nations, countries made no progress over the last year in reducing global emissions from the burning of fossil fuels.
