With #COP29 just ending, it feels like the perfect time to share my dissertation from my final year at King’s College London: “China–Saudi Arabia Cooperation in an Uncertain World.” My research focused on the Belt and Road Initiative’s alignment with Saudi Vision 2030, particularly in energy and sustainability. I explored how Saudi Arabia and China can drive sustainable energy transitions through strategic partnerships and international frameworks. As the world reflects on the outcomes of #COP29, I’m reminded of the critical importance of international collaboration in addressing global climate challenges. #COP29 #EnergyTransition #Sustainability #SaudiVision2030 #BeltAndRoad #ResearchInsights #ClimateAction

Day 6 – Day 8 Key Updates: Digital Innovation Meets Climate Action at #COP29! The first-ever "Digitalisation Day" at #COP29 unveiled groundbreaking tech solutions to tackle climate change. Global leaders and tech giants rallied around green digital transformation, featuring the #COP29 Declaration on Green Digital Action and sessions on empowering youth and safeguarding indigenous rights through digital tools On the global stage, the UN Climate Chief and #G20Summit amplified calls for stronger commitments to climate finance and resilience. Significant strides were made in transparency, human development, and non-market climate cooperation under Article 6.8 Collaboration and innovation are lighting the path to a sustainable future!

In a recent letter, UNFCCC #COP29 President Designate Mukhtar Babayev outlined a list of priorities for the #COP29 Action Agenda, which support the ongoing effort to build momentum and enhance global action to sustain a green world (1): 💰 Baku Initiative for Climate Finance, Investment and Trade (BICFIT): to promote investment in green diversification and support policy efforts through dialogue; 🏃♂️ Baku Initiative on Human Development for Climate Resilience: to support investment in education and enhance environmental literacy; and 🌎 Baku Global Climate Transparency Platform (BTP): to support developing countries prepare and submit Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRs) under the Paris Agreement. Additional initiatives involve supporting action on green energy and energy storage, reducing methane from organic waste, building resilient and climate healthy urban areas, and reducing climate change from tourism. President Designate Mukhtar Babayev released this list shortly before the World Leaders Climate Action Summit, which is taking place between November 12 and November 13, 2024. #COP29 will take place between November 11 and November 22, 2024, in Baku, Azerbaijan and will build on previous efforts to tackle the global challenge of climate change.

Azerbaijan set to host UN climate change summit - COP29 Azerbaijan will host the 29th Conference of Parties (COP29) annual climate summit 29 from 11 to 22 November in its capital Baku. Representatives of foreign governments, international businesses, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and think tanks, among others, will converge on the city. An equally important precursor to COP29 will be Climate Action Week (CAW), which Baku will host from 30 September to 4 October. Azerbaijan’s hosting of the climate summit has generated a considerable amount of controversy given the government’s lack of adoption of CO2 emissions reduction plans as well as strong emphasis on fossil fuel production. This leaves open the possibility of anti-government demonstrations by single issue activist groups during CAW and COP29. President Ilham Aliyev maintains tight controls on the levers of power, allowing for relatively high political stability. Crime rates are comparatively low and public demonstrations are strongly discouraged. Local transportation in Baku is considerably better than in other cities throughout the country. Though Baku is considered a relatively safe city, we thought it useful to provide visitors with some helpful information.  Azerbaijani is the official language. It is a Turkic language which has a high degree of mutual intelligibility with Turkish. Russian is also widely spoken in Baku. English is also spoken, but not as popular.  The official currency is the Manatas (AZN), with 1 USD = 1.70 AZN (as of 14 Aug 2024).  The major is religion is Shia Muslim, followed by Christianity. Respect local cultural norms and customs, such as avoiding public displays of affection and public intoxication.  Visa-free travel is available for certain foreign nationals from 30 to 90 days. Please check with the nearest Azerbaijan diplomatic mission for clarification.  Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD) is approximately 20km northeast of Baku. There are several transportation options to the city, however, a credible meet-and-greet service is recommended, particularly for those unfamiliar with the local environment.  Beware of pick pocketers in tourist areas such as Fountain Square, Targova including the Passage, Malakan Square, the plaza next to the 28 May Metro station.  Baku has good medical facilities and provision of healthcare services are of a high standard at private hospitals. Emergency Services can be reached by dialing 112. We would like every attendee to have a safe and secure visit to Baku for CAW and COP29, and we are here to support your travel risk management requirements and needs.

The 11th of November is an important day. In Poland we celebrate the National Independence Day. On top of that, in Poznań we mark the birthday of the city's main street by indulging in the local sweet delicacy, Rogal Świętomarciński. (Polish croissant with white poppy seed filling, heavy and sweet, up to 1200 kcal each!) But this year, the date holds a special importance as we kick off COP29 in Baku. The Conference of the Parties (COP) is a crucial global summit where nations come together to discuss and negotiate actions to combat climate change. If you want to learn or remind yourself why it is so important here is a everything you need to know: 🌎 https://lnkd.in/dQfkCzAw McKinsey, as every year, will be there, and we will host a series of in-person and virtual events featuring business, government, and nongovernmental organization (NGO) leaders. #BeyondWhy #COP29 #climatechange
