Description
COP29 represents an ambitious effort by the COP29 Presidency to drive action across all climate pillars. It covers a range of critical priorities, such as energy, finance, agriculture, cities, human development, and the climate-peace nexus, amongst others. Like other countries in the global south, Brazil has been heavily affected by climate change. This webinar looks at what could change post-COP29. Will more financing from ESG funds be available to the Global South? How will this influence the implementation of the numerous existing sustainability solutions and those under development for cities, rainforests and biodiversity?
