UNFCCC COP
About UNFCCC COP 29
The UNFCCC COP 29 is the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. It is an important global event where world leaders gather to assess and advance the collective efforts in combating climate change. The core objective of COP29 is to ensure that global warming is limited to 1.5°C which is in alignment with the Paris Agreement which was done back in 2015.
With 198 Parties to the Convention, including 197 countries and the European Union, COP 29 represents a unified global commitment to addressing one of the most pressing challenges of our time. COP29 will be held in Baku, Azerbaijan, in November 2024. The key discussions will focus on measuring progress of COP 28 and negotiating the best strategies for climate action.
During this significant event, several essential sessions will take place. These include the 19th Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP19) and the 6th Meeting of the Parties to the Paris Agreement (CMA6). These discussions will play a crucial role in finalizing the enhanced transparency framework. It may also be the place to set a new collective quantified goal on climate finance.
These elements are vital for ensuring accountability and supporting the global transition towards a more sustainable and resilient future. COP29 will provide an opportunity for global leaders to reaffirm their commitments, assess progress, and lay the groundwork for more ambitious climate action in the coming years.
Geohoney, being a strong proponent to efforts against climate change, supports COP 29 agenda the way it has done for previous COP events. We are a global leader in eco-friendly pollination and green-tech strategies that ensure environmental sustainability.
Geohoney's Stance on COP 29
At Geohoney, we actively support COP29 and the global efforts to combat climate change, as it aligns with our core mission. "We save the bees, and bees save the planet." Bees play a critical role in maintaining environmental balance and biodiversity. They act as key pollinators in ecosystems around the world. With the world leaders gathering at COP29 to discuss the urgent need to limit global warming to 1.5°C, we believe that protecting bees is a fundamental part of the solution. We create a healthy environment for bees that contributes to sustaining the ecosystems which are crucial in mitigating the impacts of climate change.
Geohoney understands that climate change poses a direct threat to bee populations and the natural world they support. As we work tirelessly to protect bees, we are also working to ensure a greener and healthier planet for future generations. Our support for COP29 extends beyond advocacy. It is deeply rooted in our environmental actions and practices. We call on all global stakeholders to recognize the interconnectedness of bees, biodiversity, and climate action. Geohoney stands alongside the international community in seeking innovative solutions to create a more sustainable future for all.
Outcomes of COP 28
At COP28, nearly 200 countries pledged to limit global warming to 1.5°C by reaching net-zero energy emissions by 2050. Key goals include tripling renewable energy capacity and doubling energy efficiency by 2030. Transitioning from fossil fuels has also been a core focus. The use of technologies like low-emissions hydrogen and carbon capture accelerate clean energy transitions.
When & Where Were the
UN Climate Change Conferences Held?
Overview of COP 28 Global Climate Action
-
1.
Fast-Track Energy Transition
COP 28 stresses that there is an urgent need to accelerate the transition to renewable energy sources. This involves investing in clean energy technologies which enhances energy efficiency. By prioritizing swift actions in the energy sector governments can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and foster a greener economy.
-
2.
Fix Climate Finance
The conferred addressed that climate finance is crucial for supporting vulnerable nations in their climate adaptation and mitigation efforts. The action plan calls for improving financial mechanisms and increasing funding for climate initiatives. This includes ensuring accessible funding for developing countries and promoting investments in sustainable projects.
-
3.
Focus on Nature and Livelihoods
COP 28 encourages members to protect natural ecosystems as they are vital for maintaining biodiversity and ensuring the livelihoods of communities dependent on these resources. The plan emphasizes integrating environmental sustainability into economic strategies. The main focus was on preserving ecosystems and promoting sustainable practices. This approach enhances community resilience while protecting vital natural resources for future generations.
-
4.
Full Inclusivity:
Inclusivity is essential for effective climate action. COP 28 ensured that all voices, particularly those of marginalized and vulnerable communities, were heard. The action plan advocates for broad participation in climate discussions, empowering stakeholders to contribute to decision-making processes

Establishment of a Loss and Damage Fund:
One of COP28's key achievements was the creation of a Loss and Damage Fund to support developing nations already affected by climate change. This fund aims to address the financial burden of extreme weather events and sea-level rise. The biodiversity loss was also a point of concern. Although $700 million was pledged, it is far below the estimated yearly requirement. This shows the need for more substantial commitments.
-
6.
Landmark Fossil Fuel Phase-Out Agreement:
For the first time in COP history, a commitment to phase out fossil fuels was secured in COP 28. It shows a major shift in global climate policy. The agreement outlines a transition to cleaner energy sources which aims for net-zero emissions by 2050. It calls for a tripling of renewable energy capacity by 2030 and advances in carbon capture and storage technologies.
UNFCCC COP 29 – What to Expect?
COP29 is also being referred to as the "finance COP". It aims to align climate finance with global needs. The focus of the conference is on resolving contested elements of the New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG). Increased private sector involvement is critical to unlocking necessary funds. Also, the Article 6 of the Paris Agreement must be operationalized to enhance carbon markets and ensure real emissions reductions.
The Loss and Damage Fund which is currently underfunded requires urgent actions. Adaptation of alternative energy sources is essential as climate impacts worsen. It necessitates a robust support for National Adaptation Plans and innovative funding mechanisms to empower vulnerable nations.
All in all, COP29 aims to strengthen Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), secure financial commitments and enhance adaptation planning. It is expected to promote the interdependence of climate action and sustainable development for a resilient and equitable world.
