🧵I have spent the last three years researching, visiting and writing about land reclamation in the Maldives. Much of that time was spent trapping unassuming friends into dinner conversations about it and taping index cards to my walls to organize my thoughts
At the Bonn Climate Change Conference, we spotted an anti-fossil fuel protest in front of the main plenary where the discussions are taking place.

Finance is at the top of the #COP29Baku agenda.
With small businesses making up 90% of all businesses and up to 60% of emissions, they need financing to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change.

It's Day 3 of @COP29 and we're inching closer to the negotiations of the hour. I wrote an article breaking down the details of these discussions. Take a look!
COP29 could be the most important conference for climate finance since 2009. There are big trillion dollar demands on the table, opposing ideologies, & the game-changing US election in the mix. What's at stake for finance?

@UNFCCC@fionaharvey@NiranjanAjit@devex 🚨 The UK announced its emissions targets @COP29_AZ -- committing to an 81% emissions reduction target. "By committing to this target, and to supporting other countries via the NDC Partnership, the UK is stepping up as a climate frontrunner," said @e3g's Nick Mabey. @devex
The big news today is that the UK will announce its #NDCs — one of the first countries to do so. They say they will cut emissions by 81%, in line with the recommendations of the @UNFCCC . @fionaharvey and @NiranjanAjit got the scoop. https://t.co/ShtrrEy7yU
@devex
It’s day 2 @COP29_AZ and everyone seems to actually know where they’re going!
I’m on the ground with @devex doing interviews, visiting pavilions, and searching for good coffee.
I’ll be posting updates and photos here throughout the day, stay tuned!
🌱Biodiversity #COP16 was suspended before a crucial decision on finance. However, delegates made strides on corporate payments for genetic data and formal representation for Indigenous people
