By leaving out specific language on transitioning away from fossil fuels, the deal agreed at #COP29 in Baku last night missed an opportunity for leadership. Nevertheless, the momentum of the clean energy transition is now unstoppable, and the fossil fuel era is nearing its end.

As negotiations at COP29 enter their final days and hours, @mendiluce outlines what is needed now, including:

- A successful New Collective Quantified Goal on climate finance
- A reaffirmation of the commitment from the UAE Consensus at COP28 to shift away from fossil fuels

It’s nature and biodiversity day at COP29.

In a recent blog Lucy Almond, Chair of @Nature4Climate and our Deputy Director of Nature Campaigning, Callie Stinson, shared three key insights from the recent biodiversity COP16 that should inform private sector action on nature and climate. They outline how business can actively contribute to achieving global biodiversity and climate goals, particularly through collaboration with governments and investments in nature-based solutions (NbS).

🗣️ “The urgency is palpable, and the stakes are high. The outcomes of #COP29 will shape the future not just of our climate but of global prosperity, security, and the legacy we leave for future generations.”

As COP enters the final days of negotiations, We Mean Business Coalition CEO, @mendiluce outlines the challenge: not only in agreeing the scale of climate finance, but also in ensuring it is distributed equitably and effectively.

In addition, this finance goal has the ability to galvanize private sector investment into low- and middle- income countries to accelerate the clean energy transition and build climate resilience.

The outcome of the U.S. presidential election represents a setback for climate action. It is a moment of rightful concern for those who care about preventing the worst impacts of climate change. Yet I am still optimistic about the challenge in front of us. https://t.co/8LJHHcztwx
