Here’s what’s on the agenda at COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, and why it matters.
When countries signed on to the 2015 ParisAgreement, they made initial voluntary commitments (the so-called Nationally Determined Contributions or NDCs) to reduce their heat-trapping emissions, and agreed to revisit them every five years to reflect the “highest possible ambition.” (see of the ParisAgreement ).
With the cleanenergy transition already under way, the US electricity mix is set to continue changing this year. Solar power is expected to make up about half of all additions of US electric generating capacity in 2023, according to data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). I’ll start off with the good.

C carbon budget set forth in the 2015 ParisAgreement, countries must reduce CO2 emissions in the entire [existing] built environment by 50-65% by 2030 and reach zero carbon by 2040. Individually, Chatham University has pledged to reach carbon neutrality by 2025, and the University of Pittsburgh by 2037.
We can become a leader in cleanenergy supply and manufacture the products the world needs to live more sustainably. Other policies could encourage cleanenergy projects that hire apprentices or unionized workers and provide direct support to Indigenous nations for ownership of projects.
The global stocktake is considered the central outcome of COP28 – as it contains every element that was under negotiation and can now be used by countries to develop stronger climate action plans due by 2025.

C or less above pre-industrial levels is a cornerstone of the ParisAgreement—one that was hard won by an alliance of small island states and the least developed countries around the world who considered it to be a relatively sufficiently safe limit to future warming, given the existential threats they face. Why is 1.5°C
Governments are being asked to commit to more ambitious emission reduction commitments for 2030 and beyond by 2025, as part of the regular cycle of updates in line with the latest science called for in the ParisAgreement, as well as to boost climate finance commitments from rich nations.
The UN NDC Synthesis Report , which finds that if countries implement their current emission reduction pledges, or nationally determined contributions (NDCs) under the ParisAgreement, global emissions will increase approximately 8.8% Committing to tripling renewable energy and doubling energy efficiency globally by 2030.
Back to North Carolina developments in late 2018: Executive Order on Climate Change and CleanEnergy: On October 29, 2018, N.C. Governor Roy Cooper issued an executive order on climate change and cleanenergy. The order creates a new N.C. It also requires preparation of a N.C.

Restoring the powers of the Environment Commissioner of Ontario.

The United States is the largest historical emitter of heat-trapping emissions and a major player at these negotiations.
Not for the betterment of the US economy, as these actions would undermine billions of dollars of forward-looking investments, cede leadership in innovation, and spike household energy bills. Not for the betterment of US energy abundance, as these actions sideline critical cleanenergy resources and threaten to stall the deployment of more.
To get an assessment of the progress thus far, as well as an idea if what has to happen next, I turned to two of my colleagues in the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) Climate & Energy Program: Principal Climate Scientist Rachel Licker and Transmission Policy Manager Sam Gomberg.
