The 29th Conference of the Parties on Climate Change (COP29) is due to take place between November 11 – 22 in Baku, Azerbaijan.

This year's conference sees a focus on delivering deep, rapid and sustained emission reductions, alongside the dual pillars of “enhancing ambition” to ensure all parties commit to ambitious national plans and transparency, and “enabling action,” reflecting the critical role of finance in adapting to climate change and addressing loss and damage.

Ahead of the conference, find out more about the topics due to be discussed as our lawyers discuss the key issues facing the sector currently.
