The 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is taking place in Baku, Azerbaijan.

The COP29 Presidency’s plan is based on two mutually reinforcing parallel pillars:

• The first pillar — to “enhance ambition” — combines key elements to ensure all parties commit to ambitious national plans and transparency.
• The second pillar — to “enable action” — reflects the critical role of finance, a key tool to turn ambition into action and reduce emissions, adapt to climate change and address loss and damage.
