COP29 priorities

The destructive impact of the climate crisis has never been more evident and our response to it has never been more necessary. COP 29 must achieve an ambitious outcome building on the commitments made in Dubai last year.

For its part, the EU will assert its continued leadership in the process by maintaining political momentum with regard to increasing global efforts on ambition and implementation with a view to keeping the 1.5°C goal within reach.

It will be crucial for Parties to reconfirm their commitment to implementing the ambition of the agreement reached in Dubai at COP28 in the UAE consensus, where countries agreed to phase down fossil fuels. This must lay the groundwork for the next round of more ambitious Nationally Determined Contributions (national climate action plans) ahead of COP30 in Brazil.

Climate finance is set to be a key topic in negotiations. Crucial to a successful outcome will be achieving significant progress on defining the New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) for supporting developing countries in their climate actions from a floor of $100 billion per year.

Another priority for Baku is to complete the negotiations under Article 6 on international carbon credit trading, as well as the urgent need to make substantial progress on building resilience through adaptation to the growing impacts of climate change.
