What we expect from the last day of COP29

As the global climate summit is expected to wrap up today (22 November) in Baku, Azerbaijan, country ministers have already started tough negotiations around the implementation of the final treaty.

All eyes are on the final sum allocated to the new climate finance goal (NCQG), which will determine how many resources developed countries will provide to the global south to limit greenhouse gas emissions. But the discrepancy in ambition and timeline between the two parties has so far locked talks in a standstill. Where are the COP29 climate talks headed? And where does the EU stand in these negotiations?

Join host Giada Santana and energy & environment reporter Niko Kurmayer as they outline COP29’s trajectory and possible scenarios for its last day. The European University Institute’s head of delegation, professor Simone Borghesi, dials in from Baku.
