As COP29 continues, climate experts and concerned groups are highlighting the urgent need for radical action on climate finance and a fundamental overhaul of the conference, aligning towards very significant issues in global climate reporting. A pivotal report released by experts evaluates the future of the IPCC, emphasizing the need for increased transparency, disclosure rules, and curbs on fossil fuel lobbying. Calls for radical action and human rights-based approaches for climate finance take center stage, as the conference experiences low turnout, a widening gulf between nations on finance goals, and renewed concerns about fossil fuel lobbying and host nations' support for clean energy transitions. The urgency of addressing the imbalances and challenges in international climate finance at COP29 is underscored by the fact that pledges for the climate loss and damage fund fall significantly short, leaving vulnerable nations underfunded in confronting climate impacts. The gravity of the situation is further highlighted by the record-high fossil fuel CO2 emissions in 2024, reflecting a critical need for immediate and collective global action to mitigate climate change impacts.
