That’s because countries previously agreed under the ParisAgreement that, by the end of 2024, they would decide on the new quantum of climate finance for lower-income countries, building on the previous target of $100 billion/year. Here’s what’s on the agenda at COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, and why it matters.
As of February 2025, there are two pending climate cases in Japan, namely, Youth Climate Case Japan for Tomorrow and Citizens Committee on the Kobe Coal-Fired Power Plant v. (See Japanese Court Upholds Mistakes in post-disaster Energy Policy in Yokosuka Climate Case Decisions.) (See See another blog post for the overview of the older cases.)
When countries signed the ParisAgreement back in 2015, they agreed to centre equity in how we tackle the climate crisis. In short, developed countries committed to providing $100 billion to vulnerable countries every year between 2020 and 2025. COP29 is the deadline for negotiations that would set a new target for 2025.
the year on which the 20-year period 2025-2044 is centred, as stated in Table 4.5 the best-estimate finding is that the 2025-2044 period is going to be the first 20-year period, in which an average warming of 1.5ºC is attained. 2 of the ParisAgreement as “pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5ºC”.
ITLOS published its advisory opinion in May 2024, and the IACtHR opinion is expected later in 2025.

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 ).
Greenhouse gas emissions need to peak by 2025 to limit global warming close to 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit), as targeted by the ParisAgreement, the report says. degrees Celsius (2.7
This new framework aims to replace the existing 2009 commitment from developed countries to provide $100 billion annually between 2020 and 2025 — a target missed by years. The next round is due in February 2025. At least $1 trillion per year is required to meet the immediate climate needs of developing countries.
In contrast, States such as Japan , Germany , and South Korea emphasized that, while Article 8 of the ParisAgreement recognizes the importance of addressing loss and damage related to the adverse effects of climate change, this provision does not involve or provide a basis for any liability or compensation.
C of global warming – the “safe” limit for temperature rise outlined in the ParisAgreement – as soon as the early 2030s, according to a landmark report by the world’s most senior climate scientists. by Keith Baker (Glasgow Caledonian University) Earth could exceed 1.5°C

The plaintiffs claimed unlawful interference under the Code of Administrative Justice, given that the government had failed to take mitigation and adaptation measures as required under the ParisAgreement, resulting in harm to the plaintiffs human rights.
Part of the discussion on the need for an advisory opinion on climate change focuses on the possibility to interpret the obligations in the ParisAgreement and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The Court rendered an opinion almost 19 months after the submission of the request. What can we expect?
According to the Center for International Environmental Law as of April 2023, the World Bank “has financed and incentivized up to $165 billion in fossil fuel investments since the ParisAgreement was signed [in 2015].” trillion or 6.8 percent of GDP in 2020 and are expected to increase to 7.4
Under the ParisAgreement, countries will need to track greenhouse gas emissions at the level of individual ‘super emitters’, such as power plants, in close-to-real time. Countries signed up to the 2015 ParisAgreement have committed themselves to keep the rise in average global temperature ‘well below’ 2 °C.
This official inner circle is now doing the business of the three separate international treaties in force for climate change: the 1992 Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC), the 1992 Kyoto Protocol (Yes, it still exists and is in force, although the United States is not a party), and the 2015 ParisAgreement.
Canada coming up so short is one of the reasons why rich, industrialized countries continue to fail to deliver on the $100 billion per year in assistance for developing countries to address climate change, a commitment first made 12 years ago and reiterated in the 2015 ParisAgreement. Credit trading under the ParisAgreement.
of the ParisAgreement establishes a “Global Goal on Adaptation” (GGA), committing Parties to the tasks of “enhancing adaptive capacity, strengthening resilience and reducing vulnerability to climate change, with a view to contributing to sustainable development and ensuring an adequate response in the context of the temperature goal.”
Last year, climate negotiators in Glasgow finalized the ParisAgreement rulebook for international cooperation through carbon markets, clearing the way for the expansion of emissions trading and carbon pricing worldwide. California has perhaps the most comprehensive protocols on offsets in the world, but this has not quieted concerns.
That is well above the Parisagreement, designed to keep warming as far below 2°C as possible. Meanwhile, the UK, India, Germany, Canada and the UAE have agreed to disclose the embodied carbon in major public construction projects by 2025, as part of the Industrial Deep Decarbonisation Initiative. C above pre-industrial levels.
While countries generally do not explicitly reference CDR in their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) submitted to the ParisAgreement, many include the CDR approaches of increasing soil and forest carbon. The ParisAgreement did not reference or define CDR, nor did it define the term “removals.” The Article 6.4

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. But it notes Parties are off track when it comes to meeting their ParisAgreement goals. C temperature limit.
According to the petitioner, as a signatory to the ParisAgreement Brazil has committed to various duties to mitigate climate change. Through the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) published in 2016, Brazil committed to reducing GHG emissions by 37% by 2025 and by 43% by 2030 as compared to a 2005 baseline.
