COP29 (29th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) was held in Baku, Republic of Azerbaijan from November 11, 2024, with the session extended by two days to November 24.<\/p>\n The agreement on new climate finance targets after 2025 was a major issue this time, and as a result of difficult negotiations, it was decided that developed countries would mobilize USD300 billion per year by 2035, from both public and private. However, this amount was not satisfactory to developing country Parties.<\/p>\n In addition, at last year’s Global Stocktake, important matters such as transitioning away from fossil fuels, tripling renewable energy, and doubling energy efficiency improvement were agreed upon. This time, an agreement regarding the implementation of the Global Stocktake results was scheduled to be reached, but due to the influence of climate finance targets that developing Parties are dissatisfied with, the adoption was not made and the plan was postponed to COP30 next year.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, progress has been made in the long-running negotiations on Article 6 of the Paris Agreement: carbon markets, and the rules that define the methodology and mechanisms have finally been finalized. This will start the carbon market under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.<\/p>\n One of the highlights of this conference was the momentum to make the next NDC (Nationally Determined Contributions), including the 2035 reduction target, more ambitious, which each country is to submit by February 2025. During COP29, non-state actors from around the world were working to convey their unwavering commitment to climate action to make a positive impact on the negotiations.<\/p>\n Many members of the Japan Climate Initiative (JCI) also attended the conference, where they shared the efforts of Japanese non-state actors through holding events, speaking at the stages, and having dialogues with domestic and international stakeholders, and deepened their learning by connecting with peers from around the world.<\/p>\n Contents<\/strong> 1\uff0eEvents<\/strong><\/a> 2.
