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.
After 30 years of international negotiations failing to mention the root cause of the climate crisis, the acknowledgement that we must phase out all fossil fuels and massively scale up renewableenergy in order to effectively tackle the climate crisis, was both long overdue and extremely significant. Unsurprisingly, trust was broken.
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.

Bill C-50 is a necessary tool to set Canadian workers up for success in a low-carbon economy Countries around the world are choosing to ditch fossil fuels, like oil, gas and coal, to use renewableenergy and increase the energy efficiency of homes, cars and factories.

The 2023 United Nations Conference of the Parties (COP28) marked the first Global Stock take to assess progress toward the ParisAgreement since its ratification in 2015 at COP21. This agreement calls on all Parties to contribute to doubling energy efficiency and tripling renewableenergy capacity by 2030.
Reduce Ontario’s GHG emissions by at least 50 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, targets consistent with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the most ambitious aspects of the ParisAgreement. Restoring the powers of the Environment Commissioner of Ontario.
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.

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 ).
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 renewableenergy and doubling energy efficiency globally by 2030.
