Anyone who listened to the African Group on the NCQG ( PressC) yesterday knows that Baku needs a "title success", 200-300bn would be "a joke"! More is only possible with innovative instruments including ("high integrity") carbon markets! Anything else would be window dressing.

Super red flag! (New COP term) Strong criticism of the negotiations in Baku comes from #Bolivia! „A meagre 200bn USD for the NCQG is totally unacceptable!“

Status reports from the "ministerial pairs" today: #Art6.2/6.4, new texts already last night, landing zones identified by Grace Fu Hai Yuen (SG) and Simon Watts (NZ) That sounds uncritical! Super-pragmatic! No comments from the floor! #COP29

Background on #WealthTaxation for #climate finance to be found in: (Currently in German, soon t.b. translated!)

Today the #COP29 president accepts last week's status reports of SBSTA/SBI! Much continues as NOT quorate - "Needs further guidance by CMA , COP and the presidency" - especially #Art6.2 and Art.6.4. [Not a disaster, but the air is getting thinner!]

We definitely love each other and the planet. But we can simply never agree!

Hurra, der Klammertext-Tracker vom @DrSimEvans ist da und trifft mein Gefühl: Weit von einem Durchbruch beim #NCQG! So wie Simon aus London, erlaube ich mir Kommentierungen in der nächsten Woche. Folgen Sie @BohnFriedrich für Liveberichte aus Baku von der #COP29.

Azerbaijani Tea (at its best!). The perilous future of this beloved drink serves as a reminder that if the world fails to meet the global warming goals set in the Paris Agreement,

Upside-Down: In Baku, Azerbaijan, the countries that have historically been viewed as blockers of progress at global climate talks defended the Paris Agreement, reports @FT today.

Raising ambition and accelerating delivery of #ClimateFinance - a full failure at the science-policy-interface (in my view).

@COP29_AZ The next pressure will be on #adaptationfinance @COP29AZ.

The #AdaptationFund is very dear to us”: #AdaptationFinance could become a breakthrough issue for #COP29 (in the framework of #NCQG and the doubling of AF)

🇨🇳 -ese „Concerns with trade restrictive unilateral measures" (i.e. the EU's BCAM) were rejected by a resolution on the #COP29 agenda! (11.11., late that day).

RT @WRIFinance: The #NCQG negotiations should be founded on a clear understanding of the finance that’s already flowing, including from Chi…

„Welcome to Azerbaijan!“ Here you can expect a president who lauds fossil fuels, knifes European ‘hypocrisy’ in the COP29 opening speech – POLITICO reports ⁦@KarlMathiesen⁩ (a pleasure reading it).

RT @ISC: The ISC and @KITKarlsruhe are hosting a #COP29 panel. Join leading voices in #ClimateScience sharing the latest research and susta…

The mood in Baku #COP29 in the middle of the first week: After the Trump election and the many last-minute cancellations, the mood here was pretty low. In search for a quick successes, the presidency brought forward Art. 6.4. …. and passed it. A coup like in Dubai #COP28!

@DrSimEvans Looking forward to your „Bracket Accounts“ 😀

Today #EarthInformation Day at #COP29! #WMO reports: Earth was 1.54 degrees C warmer last year, but i.e. did not miss the climate goals of Paris. This would have to be the case for 10-30 years. WMO-language: "1.3 degrees C warming is certain, every decimal value counts now".
