The COP, or Conference of the Parties, brings together leaders and representatives from countries around the world to discuss ways to combat climate change. The event also gathers activists, environmentalists, Indigenous and traditional peoples, researchers, and organized civil society — including Inesc. It is the most important moment of the year to amplify the voices addressing the climate crisis through the lens of social and environmental justice.
At COP29, there was little progress toward a global commitment to finance actions for transition, adaptation, and emission reduction. Now, the goal is to advance negotiations on how wealthy and developed nations will mobilize USD 1.3 trillion annually by 2035 for climate finance. Another major challenge is to establish a public, fair, and accessible financing model that does not lead to further indebtedness for poorer nations.
This year, COP will be hosted and presided over by Brazil, in the heart of the Amazon. It is time to bring to the forefront and take leadership on crucial issues such as fair and accessible climate finance, climate adaptation with inequality reduction, energy transition with social and environmental justice, and carbon market regulation with social and environmental safeguards.
