    UN Climate Summit in Baku: Climate Finance, Fossil Fuel Transition, and Renewable Energy in Focus

    The UN climate summit in Baku, Azerbaijan, often referred to as the “climate finance COP,” will tackle more than just financial commitments. Delegates from across the globe are expected to address critical issues like transitioning away from fossil fuels and boosting renewable energy use. This year’s talks come amid rising global fossil fuel consumption and a continued expansion of oil and gas projects.

    Fossil Fuel Transition Remains a Challenge

    At last year’s COP28 summit in Dubai, countries reached a historic agreement to start transitioning away from fossil fuels. Yet, progress since then has been limited, with fossil fuel usage and export sales climbing worldwide. New approvals for oil and gas production in regions such as Azerbaijan, the US, Namibia, and Guyana highlight the global reliance on fossil fuels. This reality has led many negotiators to predict that COP29 may not establish strict timelines or stronger language to limit fossil fuel usage. However, some countries are expected to advocate for restrictions on new coal plants.

    Renewables and Energy Efficiency in the Spotlight

    To ease the global dependence on fossil fuels, participating nations are set to review progress on previous commitments to triple renewable energy capacity and double energy efficiency. These goals are seen as key to reducing fossil fuel demand and achieving a sustainable energy future. However, realising these ambitious targets will require significant policy coordination and investment in renewable infrastructure.

    The outcomes from this summit will reveal whether the global community can make strides towards cleaner energy sources, despite the lingering reliance on fossil fuels.
