    Nov 21 2024

Next year’s climate conference is set to take place in the Belem, Brazil, a gateway to the Amazon rainforest.

  • Big Take: COP29 confronts tensions over funding clean energy transition
    Nov 17 2024

    Climate leaders from around the world have convened in Baku, Azerbaijan for the UN’s biggest annual climate conference, COP29. And this year, it’s all about money.

    Member nations are negotiating over how much responsibility rich countries have to finance the energy transitions of smaller economies. But larger global tensions loom over the proceedings — including the reelection of Donald Trump.

    In this episode of the Big Take, Bloomberg’s senior climate reporter and host of Zero Akshat Rathi calls in from COP29 to update host Sarah Holder on the unfolding negotiations and how America’s new president-elect changes the conversation.
