We have a winner!

The gavel came down on COP29 at 05:31am local time, according to IISD.

So, in reverse order, these were the closest three guesses...

3) Richard Klein, @SEIclimate - 05:43
2) @borenbears, Associated Press - 05:36
1) @clemetivier, WWF UK - 05:29

Feels like we might be close to actually finishing - and yet…

[Has COP29 finished yet? @MakeCOP29stop]

Nearly….

[Has COP29 finished yet? @MakeCOP29stop]

Nope. Still going. 2am - 32 hours over and counting!

[Has COP29 finished yet? @MakeCOP29stop]

Coming up on 24 hours overtime in Baku. No, #COP29 very much has not finished yet.

BREAKING: no - #COP29 has not finished yet.

More than 20 hours over, #COP29 enters the starve ‘em into agreement stage of proceedings.

[Has COP29 finished yet? @MakeCOP29stop]

Is it still going? Yes. Yes, #COP29 is still very much going on. It has not finished.

11:00am in Baku. Has #COP29 finished yet?

It has not. Nor have the texts turned up. Anyone checked inside the matryoshka in the Russian pavilion?

[Has COP29 finished yet? @MakeCOP29stop]

Baku to reality? Not yet folks - #COP29 is still going on and everyone is still waiting for those troublesome texts.

[Has COP29 finished yet? @MakeCOP29stop]

Someone from the Presidency just consulted me. I said my view was that #COP29 should end.

It’s very late. COP29 has not, in fact, ended.

[Has COP29 finished yet? @MakeCOP29stop]

6:00. It came. It went.

And lo, #COP29 did not end.

[Has COP29 finished yet? @MakeCOP29stop]

How’s it all going? Only half an hour left right?

Let’s just have a look at the headlines to see what everyone thinks of the tex….

Oh. We’ll probably overrun a bit beyond 18:00 it seems.

Happy last day of #COP29 to all who celebrate. Footnotes of the season to you, and may your day not be filled with square brackets.

[Has COP29 finished yet? @MakeCOP29stop]

Oooh. Just one more sleep and 24 hours to go! Exciting, isn’t it!

Exciting news - the #COP29 Presidency hopes to pick up the pace and finish before Friday.

That’s it - the curse is cast…

[Carbon Brief @CarbonBrief]

COP28 officially ended almost a day later than scheduled.

Sultan Al Jaber, #COP28 president, had said he intended to close discussions by “11am at the latest” on Tuesday, December 12.

But seasoned COP-goers know they rarely finish on time.

COP28 ranks 13th in overrunning COPs.
