The COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, is proclaimed “the finance COP”. It will focus on aligning climate financing to the global goals set in the Paris Agreement. As all parties submit new and updated national climate plans, they should deliver and reflect commitments agreed upon in the Paris Agreement.

Financial mechanisms must be easily accessible and, in their criteria, support an inclusive and integrated approach.
