Video. COP29: denial in the face of a climate emergency

Updated:

At COP29 in Baku, climate activists demanded that rich countries provide $5 trillion per year in funding to support poorer countries' climate needs.

While negotiations were carred out on providing funds to deal with climate crises, vulnerable countries requested $1.3 trillion annually in climate finance to support recovery and the energy transition.

Activist Aishwarya Visvanathan called for unity in the global south against a bad deal. Kjell Kühne, dressed as a dugong, called for an end to the use of fossil fuels and warned of the destruction of endangered species' habitats, such as dugongs in the Arabian Gulf.
