Sarah Bracking, Professor of Climate and Society, lays out the five moral hazards at play in the COP negotiations which are "building climate finance architecture’ rather than making the financial resources actually available to those who need them most." www.kcl.ac.uk/cop29-follow...

Dr Clement Sefa-Nyarko, a Lecturer in our African Leadership Centre, reflects on his time as a delegate at #COP29 in Baku including the wide differences he noted between countries at the event – and how ordinary people are caught between these extremes. #KingsatCOP 🔽

Climate finance is a key theme of #COP29. Professor Sarah Bracking, Professor of Climate and Society, explores the New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) that seems to be up for discussion and why it must not distract from other priorities. ⬇️ #KingsatCOP #COP29Baku www.kcl.ac.uk/cop29-follow...

Professor Frans Berkhout says Keir Starmer's pledge at #COP29 is highly significant and shows he "aims to recapture the UK’s leadership position on climate precisely at a moment of peril for climate policy following Donald Trump’s election." ⬇️ #KingsatCOP #COP29Baku

As #COP29 gets underway, what should we expect from the UN climate summit? PhD researcher Rachel Harrington-Abrams explores why it is important and how will we know if it is has been a success. #KingsatCOP ⬇️ www.kcl.ac.uk/cop29-what-t...

"With the G77 and China sticking to a high $1.3 trillion ask, but the developed countries rumoured to be offering a figure of a low hundreds of billions, the gap appears vast." Professor Sarah Bracking @kings-sga.bsky.social on the ongoing climate finance negotiations on the last day of #COP29.⬇️

"Weak" and a decision is in effect being "postponed" - Professor Sarah Bracking @kings-sga.bsky.social responds to the probable figure that has now emerged for the NCQG at #COP29 of $250 billion (USD) per year by 2035 for climate action in developing country Parties. ⬇️
