"We are at #COP29 in the middle of a geopolitical power game by some of the fossil fuel states.. As the EU, we are facing up to our historic responsibility. But climate finance and CO2 reduction belong together. We will not allow the poorest countries to be ripped off by the new rich emitters with the backing of the presidency"

COP29: UN climate talks 'no longer fit for purpose' say experts

“The president of Azerbaijan, who is hosting climate summit COP29, has hailed oil and gas as ‘a gift from God’ as he lambasted Western media and climate activists.
President Ilham Aliyev kicked off the conference with a wide-ranging, critical speech in which he hit out at those opposed to his country's oil and gas industries.”

The COP climate conferences are now totally broken due to their hijacking by pro-fossil fuel governments. Even the former Secretary General of the UN says so:
"UN climate talks are "no longer fit for purpose" and should only be hosted by countries who are trying to give up fossil fuels, veterans of the process have said."
"An open letter to the United Nations, signed by former UN chief Ban Ki-moon, made a dramatic intervention in the 29th COP climate summit, under way in Baku, Azerbaijan."

This publication is our analysis of the draft EU #carbon removal rules for #BECCS and #biochar.
