Everything you missed at COP29 with Richie Merzian

COP29, the 2024 UN Conference of the Parties on Climate Change, ran from November 11-22 in Azerbaijan.

The main decision was how to pay for poorer nations' climate financing - decarbonisation, adaptation, and resilience to climate impacts – which are hitting them hardest despite contributing the least.

The major win of the event was an eleventh-hour agreement on carbon markets, while some other negotiations failed the reach their goals, or reached an impasse.

Richie Merzian was on the ground in Baku during COP29. Richie, the CEO of Clean Energy Investor Group, joins host Rose Mary Petrass, senior journalist at FS Sustainability.
