COP 29 | Halfway Point Webinar

With expectations high for a meaningful new collective quantified goal (NCQG) to finance climate action for years to come-as well as pressure to build on last year's global stocktake decision and advance ambitious greenhouse gas mitigation-delegates will be hard pressed to prove they can quickly change the trajectory of global warming trends.
