The role of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in providing science input into the Paris Agreement and its critical five yearly Global Stocktake is under challenge.

COP29 concluded with more than a few agenda items left unresolved. One was the 'just transition work programme'. What happened during these negotiations? And how can we ensure a better outcome at COP30?

This COP is already being reflected on as one of the most difficult in the history of the negotiations. And the final text has not made it all worth it. So, what was agreed? And what does it mean for addressing the climate crisis and the work to come next year on the road to COP30 in Belém?
