Every year, the United Nations holds its annual climate change conference. It’s called the “Climate Change Conference of Parties (COP).
This year, the 29th annual COP was held on Nov. 11 in the city of Baku, which is the capital of Azerbaijan.
However, unlike previous years, many challenges have arisen this year that pose serious problems to the U.N.’s climate agenda. Whether it’s the reelection of Donald Trump (and his promise to exit the Paris Climate Accords), western world leaders skipping the conference, or the host nation giving a speech in favor of fossil fuels, it appears that the pendulum is beginning to swing in the other direction.
But the U.N. is not taking this lying down.
Instead, it has announced a new initiative, called the “The Baku Initiative on Human Development for Climate Resilience.”
Let’s go through what this latest initiative is, how it’s being implemented, the specific challenges it’ll face, and what it’ll mean going forward for the countries that are still committed to the U.N.’s climate agenda.
