联合国气候变化新闻,2024 年 11 月 24 日 – 联合国气候变化大会 (COP29) 今天闭幕,提出了一项新的融资目标,以帮助各国保护其人民和经济免受气候灾害的影响,并分享清洁能源繁荣带来的巨大好处。
COP29 以气候融资为中心,在阿塞拜疆巴库汇集了近 200 个国家,并达成了一项突破性协议,该协议将:
到 2035 年,将向发展中国家提供的公共资金增加两倍,从之前的每年 1000 亿美元增加到每年 3000 亿美元。
确保所有行为体共同努力,到 2035 年将向发展中国家提供的公共和私人来源的资金扩大到每年 1.3 万亿美元。
该协议的正式名称为气候融资量化新集体 (NCQG),经过两周的紧张谈判和几年的准备工作后达成一致,这一过程需要所有国家一致同意协议的每一个字。
“在气候影响不断恶化打击每个国家的情况下,这一新的财务目标是为人类提供的保险单,”联合国气候变化执行秘书西蒙·斯蒂尔 (Simon Stiell) 说。“但就像任何保险单一样,它只有在按时足额支付保费的情况下才有效。必须信守承诺,以保护数十亿人的生命。
“它将保持清洁能源的繁荣,帮助所有国家分享其巨大好处:为所有人提供更多就业机会、更强劲的增长、更便宜、更清洁的能源。”
国际能源署预计,2024 年全球清洁能源投资将首次超过 2 万亿美元。
COP29 的新融资目标建立在全球气候行动方面取得的重大进展之上,COP27 和 COP28 达成了一项全球协议,以迅速公平地从能源系统中的所有化石燃料过渡,将可再生能源增加两倍并提高气候适应能力。
COP29 还就碳市场达成了协议——这是之前的几届 COP 都未能达成的。这些协议将帮助各国更快、更便宜地实施其气候计划,并按照科学的要求,在这十年内更快地将全球排放量减半。
还就透明的气候报告和适应达成了重要协议,总结如下。
斯蒂尔还承认,在巴库达成的协议并未达到所有缔约方的期望,明年在几个关键问题上仍需要做更多的工作。
“没有一个国家得到了他们想要的一切,我们离开巴库的工作堆积如山,”斯蒂尔说。“我们需要解决的许多其他问题可能不是头条新闻,但它们是数十亿人的生命线。所以现在不是胜利圈的时候,我们需要放下目标,在通往贝伦的路上加倍努力。
COP29 的融资协议是在明年所有国家都要出台更强有力的国家气候计划(国家自主贡献,简称 NDC)之际达成的。这些新的气候计划必须涵盖所有温室气体和所有行业,以保持 1.5°C 的升温限制触手可及。在 COP29 上,两个 G20 国家——英国和巴西——明确表示,他们计划在其 NDC 3.0 中加强气候行动,因为它们完全符合其经济和人民的利益。
“我们还有很长的路要走,但在巴库,我们又向前迈出了重要的一步,”Stiell 说。“联合国巴黎协定是人类的救生筏;没有别的了。因此,在巴库和在座的所有国家,我们正在共同前进。
以下是 COP29 其他主要成就的简要总结。
《巴黎协定》第 6 条过去两周的一个显著成就是在碳市场方面取得的进展。经过近十年的工作,各国已就最终的建设达成一致g 区块规定了碳市场在《巴黎协定》下将如何运作,使国间交易和碳信用机制全面运作。
关于国与国之间的交易(第 6.2 条),COP29 的决定明确了各国将如何授权碳信用额交易以及跟踪碳信用额的登记处将如何运作。现在,人们可以放心地,通过在透明流程中进行技术审查,预先确保环境完整性。
在 COP29 的第一天,各国就联合国集中式碳市场(第 6.4 条机制)的标准达成一致。这对发展中国家来说是个好消息,他们将从新的资金流中受益。这对最不发达国家来说尤其好消息,它们将获得在市场上站稳脚跟所需的能力建设支持。
该机制被称为《巴黎协定信用机制》,其基础是强制检查针对强有力的环境和人权保护措施的项目,包括确保项目在没有原住民明确、知情同意的情况下无法进行的保障措施。它还允许受项目影响的任何人对决定提出上诉或提出投诉.
根据关于第 6.4 条的商定文本,联合国碳市场有明确的任务要求与科学保持一致。IT 任务身体启动并运行这个市场,以考虑在未来所有工作中的最佳可用科学。
碳市场的工作并不止于巴库。缔约方已向建立新碳信用机制的监管机构提交了一份长长的 2025 年待办事项清单,并将继续对它们负责。
透明度
透明的气候报告在巴库取得了长足的进步,建立了更强大的证据基础,以随着时间的推移加强气候政策,并帮助确定融资需求和机会。迄今为止,已有 13 个缔约方提交了其首个两年期透明度报告(BTR) – 应在年底前由所有缔约方支付。安道尔、阿塞拜疆、欧盟、德国、圭亚那、日本、哈萨克斯坦、马尔代夫、荷兰、巴拿马、新加坡、西班牙和土耳其在透明气候报告方面处于领先地位,并为其他国家树立了榜样。接收的 BTR 列表正在不断更新这里.
此外,所有透明度谈判项目都在 COP29 上圆满结束,缔约方对及时完成增强透明度框架 (ETF) 报告工具、技术培训以及为 2024 年根据 ETF 报告向发展中国家提供的支持表示赞赏。
共有 42 场活动在#Together4Transparency,一项 UNFCCC 合作倡议,旨在促进与缔约方和非缔约方利益相关者的气候透明度。这些活动强调了透明度在准备 NDC 和净零路径以及认可非缔约方利益相关者的气候行动方面的重要作用。活动包括高级别会议、授权活动和培训课程,旨在为各国的 BTR 做好准备,并为即将到来的审查过程配备技术专家。
英国国际林业局承诺提供 300 万英镑,以支持联合国气候变化署四年的工作,从而认可了 REDD+ 的关键作用。这笔资金将支持许多国家的 REDD+ 活动,使秘书处能够为 REDD+ 专家创造专门的空间来参与技术对话。预计这些努力将提高 REDD+ 的透明度和实施情况,符合 2030 年停止和扭转森林砍伐和森林退化的全球盘点目标。
适应
COP29 是适应的重要时刻,取得了多项关键成果。缔约方大会关于最不发达国家 (LDC) 相关事项的决定包含一项规定,即为实施最不发达国家国家适应计划 (NAP) 制定支持计划。缔约方广泛讨论了制定和实施 NAP 的第二个五年进展评估,并将在 2025 年 6 月继续进行。
一个关于国家适应计划的高级别对话召集了来自最不发达国家和小岛屿发展中国家的部长、金融专家和国际捐助者,以应对气候适应日益紧迫的问题。他们的讨论侧重于创新融资、技术支持和加快行动,以满足 2025 年 NAP 的提交截止日期。活动结束时强烈呼吁采取行动,加快 NAP 并将计划转化为切实的成果。
全球适应目标的成果为指标工作计划通往 COP30 的道路指明了明确的前进道路,为专家提供了一个在将接力棒传递给缔约方之前继续其技术工作的过程。COP29 还启动了巴库适应路线图和巴库适应问题高级别对话,以加强阿联酋框架的实施。最后,结果通过同意继续解读向前发展的转型适应,提高了雄心。
COP29 向前迈出了决定性的一步,提高了原住民和当地社区在气候行动中的声音,通过了巴库工作计划以及延长地方社区和土著人民平台 (LCIPP) 促进工作组 (FWG) 的任务授权。通过的决定承认了 FWG 在促进缔约方、土著人民和当地社区之间的合作方面取得的进展,并强调了土著人民和当地社区在应对气候危机方面的领导作用。
性别与气候变化
各国就性别与气候变化达成一致,延长了利马性别与气候变化工作方案再过 10 年,重申性别平等的重要性,并在整个公约中推进性别主流化。
他们还同意制定一项新的性别行动计划,以便在 COP30 上通过,这将为具体实施设定方向。
民间社会参与、儿童和青年
参加 COP29 的世界领导人与民间社会、地方政府、企业、土著人民、青年、慈善事业和国际组织一起参加了会议。超过 55,000 人参加了 COP29,分享想法、解决方案并建立伙伴关系和联盟。
COP29 上做出的决定还再次强调了赋予所有利益相关者参与气候行动的权力至关重要;特别是在气候赋权行动 (ACE) 下。缔约方回顾了将 ACE 要素纳入国家气候变化政策、计划、战略和行动的重要性,并注意到秘书处将 ACE 要素纳入 NDC 的良好做法纲要。
COP29 是一个重要的里程碑,因为创建了专用空间,以确保儿童首次有意义地参与青年主导的气候论坛。四名儿童,包括最小的 10 岁儿童,担任主持人和发言人,直接与缔约方和观察员组织接触。他们的参与凸显了包容性和代际合作在推动气候行动方面的重要性。
在正式谈判的同时,COP29 的全球气候行动空间为政府、企业和民间社会提供了一个合作和展示其现实世界气候解决方案的平台。可以找到这些的概述和摘要这里.
在马拉喀什全球气候行动伙伴关系 (Marrakech Partnership for Global Climate Action) 的领导下,高级别冠军发起了他们的2024 年全球气候行动年在 COP29 上,表明包括企业、投资者、地方行为体和民间社会在内的非缔约方利益相关者采取的气候行动正在推动实现《巴黎协定》的目标,并且他们的参与比以往任何时候都更加重要。

以下是联合国气候变化执行秘书西蒙·斯蒂尔于 2024 年 11 月 24 日在阿塞拜疆巴库举行的联合国气候变化大会 (COP29) 闭幕式上的讲话记录。
各位阁下、各位代表、同事们、朋友们,
首先,我想感谢主席国为推动巴库金融 COP 所做的一切。
这是一段艰难的旅程,但我们已经达成了协议。
这个新的财务目标是在气候影响不断恶化的每个国家/地区为人类提供的保险单。但就像任何保险单一样 - 它只有在按时足额支付保费的情况下才有效。必须信守承诺,以保护数十亿人的生命。
这项协议将使清洁能源蓬勃发展,帮助所有国家分享其巨大利益:为所有人提供更多就业机会、更强劲的增长、更便宜、更清洁的能源。
我们需要这是一次赋能的 COP - 帮助将 COP28 的承诺转化为保护人类、繁荣和地球的实际成果。
这就是我们实现的。
在 COP28 上,世界同意将可再生能源增加三倍。在 COP29 上,我们将气候资金增加了两倍,各国将努力动员更多资金。
在 COP28 上,世界一致同意提高气候适应能力。COP29 将有助于为前线人员,尤其是最弱势群体提供真正的保护。
经过近十年的努力,COP29 还就碳市场达成了全球协议,而之前的几届 COP 都未能完成这项工作。
没有一个国家得到了他们想要的一切,我们离开巴库时还有大量的工作要做。
我们需要解决的许多其他问题可能不是头条新闻,但它们是数十亿人的生命线。
所以现在不是胜利圈的时候,我们需要放眼目标,在通往贝伦的道路上加倍努力。
即便如此,我们已经表明《联合国巴黎协定》正在发挥作用,但各国政府仍需要加快步伐。
我们不要忘记,如果没有联合国召集的全球合作,我们将走向全球变暖 5 度。
但我们离目标还有很长的路要走。在前往贝伦的路上,大胆的新气候计划对于让我们重返赛场至关重要。他们必须落实我们在迪拜商定的目标,包括迅速增加可再生能源、摆脱化石燃料以及改造社会,使其更具韧性。
整个经济、整个社会的计划都至关重要。
我们已经看到两个 G20 国家——英国和巴西——发出了明确的信号,因为更强有力的气候行动完全符合其经济和人民的利益。
朋友们 – 巴库的进步来之不易。
我向所有夜以继日工作的人致敬。即使您没有得到您想要的一切,您交付的东西也会让数十亿人的生活更安全、更美好。
对于从民间社会加入的人,你们的工作有助于我们的进程取得进展。今天我们设定了一个新的目标,您将是确保的关键。ing 目标已实现。
对于秘书处的工作人员来说,你们已经被逼得难以置信,但你们一次又一次地站出来,做到了,使来自近 200 个国家的数万人能够齐聚一堂,推动全球气候努力向前发展。我从未见过如此努力工作的人,在困难时期稳定下来。
各位阁下,朋友们,我们还有很长的路要走,但在巴库,我们又向前迈出了重要的一步。
联合国《巴黎协定》是人类的救生筏;没有别的了。因此,在巴库和在座的所有国家,我们正在共同前进。
谢谢你。

UN Climate Change News, 24 November 2024 – The UN Climate Change Conference (COP29) closed today with a new finance goal to help countries to protect their people and economies against climate disasters, and share in the vast benefits of the clean energy boom.
With a central focus on climate finance, COP29 brought together nearly 200 countries in Baku, Azerbaijan, and reached a breakthrough agreement that will:
Triple public finance to developing countries, from the previous goal of USD 100 billion annually, to USD 300 billion annually by 2035.
Secure efforts of all actors to work together to scale up finance to developing countries, from public and private sources, to the amount of USD 1.3 trillion per year by 2035.
Known formally as the New Collective Quantified on Climate Finance (NCQG), it was agreed after two weeks of intensive negotiations and several years of preparatory work, in a process that requires all nations to unanimously agree on every word of the agreement.
"This new finance goal is an insurance policy for humanity, amid worsening climate impacts hitting every country,” said Simon Stiell, Executive Secretary of UN Climate Change. “But like any insurance policy – it only works – if premiums are paid in full, and on time. Promises must be kept, to protect billions of lives.”
"It will keep the clean energy boom growing, helping all countries to share in its huge benefits: more jobs, stronger growth, cheaper and cleaner energy for all.”
The International Energy Agency expects global clean energy investment is set to exceed USD 2 trillion for the first time in 2024.
The new finance goal at COP29 builds on significant strides forward on global climate action at COP27, which agreed an historic Loss and Damage Fund, and COP28, which delivered a global agreement to transition away from all fossil fuels in energy systems swiftly and fairly, triple renewable energy and boost climate resilience.
COP29 also reached agreement on carbon markets – which several previous COPs had not been able to achieve. These agreements will help countries deliver their climate plans more quickly and cheaply, and make faster progress in halving global emissions this decade, as required by science.
Important agreements were also reached on transparent climate reporting and adaptation as summarized below.
Stiell also acknowledged that the agreement reached in Baku did not meet all Parties' expectations, and substantially more work is still needed next year on several crucial issues.
“No country got everything they wanted, and we leave Baku with a mountain of work to do,” said Stiell. “The many other issues we need to progress may not be headlines but they are lifelines for billions of people. So this is no time for victory laps, we need to set our sights and redouble our efforts on the road to Belem.”
The finance agreement at COP29 comes as stronger national climate plans (Nationally Determined Contributions, or NDCs) become due from all countries next year. These new climate plans must cover all greenhouse gases and all sectors, to keep the 1.5°C warming limit within reach. COP29 saw two G20 countries – the UK and Brazil – signal clearly that they plan to ramp up climate action in their NDCs 3.0, because they are entirely in the interests of their economies and peoples.
“We still have a very long road ahead, but here in Baku we took another important step forward,” said Stiell. “The UN Paris Agreement is humanity’s life-raft; there is nothing else. So here in Baku and all of the countries represented in this room we’re taking that journey forward together.”
A brief summary of other key achievements at COP29 follows below.
Article 6 of the Paris Agreement
A notable achievement during the past two weeks was the progress made on carbon markets. After nearly a decade of work, countries have agreed on the final building blocks that set out how carbon markets will operate under the Paris Agreement, making country-to-country trading and a carbon crediting mechanism fully operational.
On country-to-country trading (Article 6.2), the decision out of COP29 provides clarity on how countries will authorize the trade of carbon credits and how registries tracking this will operate. And there is now reassurance that environmental integrity will be ensured up front through technical reviews in a transparent process.
On day one of COP29, countries agreed standards for a centralized carbon market under the UN (Article 6.4 mechanism). This is good news for developing countries, who will benefit from new flows of finance. And it is particularly good news for least developed countries, who will get the capacity-building support they need to get a foothold in the market.
This mechanism, known as the Paris Agreement Crediting Mechanism, is underpinned by mandatory checks for projects against strong environmental and human rights protections, including safeguards that ensure a project can’t go ahead without explicit, informed agreement from Indigenous Peoples. It also allows anyone affected by a project to appeal a decision or file a complaint.
Under the text agreed on Article 6.4, there is a clear mandate for the UN carbon market to align with science. It tasks the Body getting this market up and running to consider the best available science across all work going forward.
The work on carbon markets doesn’t stop in Baku. The Supervisory Body setting up the new carbon crediting mechanism has been handed a long 2025 to-do list by Parties and will continue to be accountable to them.
Transparency
Transparent climate reporting made big strides forward in Baku, building a stronger evidence base to strengthen climate policies over time, and helping to identify financing needs and opportunities. To date, 13 Parties have now submitted their first Biennial Transparency Reports (BTR) – due from all Parties by the end of the year. Andorra, Azerbaijan, the European Union, Germany, Guyana, Japan, Kazakhstan, Maldives, Netherlands, Panama, Singapore, Spain, and Türkiye have led the way on transparent climate reporting, and set an example for others to follow. The list of received BTRs is continuously being updated here.
In addition, all transparency negotiating items concluded successfully at COP29, with Parties expressing their appreciation for the timely completion of the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) reporting tools, the technical trainings, and the support provided to developing countries for reporting under the ETF that took place in 2024.
A total of 42 events were organized under #Together4Transparency, a UNFCCC collaborative initiative that promotes climate transparency with Parties and non-Party stakeholders. These events emphasized the vital role of transparency in preparing NDCs and net-zero pathways, as well as in recognizing climate action from non-Party stakeholders. Events included high-level sessions, mandated events and training sessions to prepare countries for their BTRs, as well as to equip technical experts for the upcoming review process.
The critical role of REDD+ was recognized through a £3 million pledge by the UK International Forest Unit to support UN Climate Change’s work over four years. This funding will bolster REDD+ activities in many countries, enabling the secretariat to create dedicated spaces for REDD+ experts to engage in technical dialogue. These efforts are expected to enhance the transparency and implementation of REDD+, in line with the Global Stocktake objective to halt and reverse deforestation and forest degradation by 2030.
Adaptation
COP29 was an important moment for adaptation, with the delivery of several key outcomes. The COP decision on matters relating to the least developed countries (LDCs) contains a provision for the establishment of a support programme for the implementation of National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) for the LDCs. Parties extensively discussed the second five-year assessment of progress to formulate and implement NAPs, and will continue that in June 2025.
A High-Level Dialogue on National Adaptation Plans convened ministers from least developed countries and small island developing States, financial experts and international donors to address the growing urgency of climate adaptation. Their discussions focused on innovative financing, technical support, and accelerated action to meet the 2025 submission deadline for NAPs. The event concluded with a strong call to action to expedite NAPs and translate plans into tangible outcomes.
The outcome on the global goal on adaptation sets a clear path forward on the road to COP30 for the indicators work programme, providing a process for experts to continue their technical work before passing the baton to Parties. COP29 also launched the Baku Adaptation Road Map and Baku high-level dialogue on adaptation to enhance the implementation of the UAE Framework. Finally, the outcome raises ambition by agreeing to continue unpacking transformational adaptation moving forward.
COP29 took a decisive step forward to elevate the voices of Indigenous Peoples and local communities in climate action, adopting the Baku Workplan and renewing the mandate of the Facilitative Working Group (FWG) of the Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples Platform (LCIPP). The adopted decision acknowledges the progress made by the FWG in fostering collaboration among Parties, Indigenous Peoples and local communities, and underscores the leadership of Indigenous Peoples and local communities in addressing the climate crisis.
Gender and climate change
Countries agreed a decision on gender and climate change, extending the enhanced Lima Work Programme on Gender and Climate Change for another 10 years, reaffirming the importance of gender equality and advancing gender mainstreaming throughout the convention.
They also agreed to develop a new gender action plan for adoption at COP30, which will set the direction for concrete implementation.
Civil society participation, children and youth
World leaders at COP29 were joined by civil society, subnationals, business, Indigenous Peoples, youth, philanthropy, and international organizations. More than 55,000 people attended COP29 to share ideas, solutions, and build partnerships and coalitions.
The decisions taken at COP29 also reemphasize the critical importance of empowering all stakeholders to engage in climate action; in particular under Action for Climate Empowerment (ACE). Parties recalled the importance of integrating ACE elements into national climate change policies, plans, strategies and action, and noted the secretariat’s compendium of good practices for integrating ACE elements into NDCs.
COP29 marked a significant milestone as dedicated spaces were created to ensure the meaningful participation of children within the Youth-led Climate Forum for the first time. Four children, including the youngest at just 10 years old, took on roles as moderators and speakers, engaging directly with Parties and observer organizations. Their participation highlighted the importance of inclusivity and intergenerational collaboration in driving climate action.
In parallel with the formal negotiations, the Global Climate Action space at COP29 provided a platform for governments, businesses and civil society to collaborate and showcase their real-world climate solutions. An overview and summary of these can be found here.
The High-Level Champions, under the Marrakech Partnership for Global Climate Action, launched their 2024 Yearbook of Global Climate Action at COP29, showing that climate action by non-Party stakeholders, including businesses, investors, sub-national actors and civil society, is driving progress towards the goals of the Paris Agreement, and that their engagement is more crucial than ever.

The following is a transcript of remarks made by UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell at the closing of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP29) in Baku, Azerbaijan, on 24 November 2024.
Excellencies, Delegates, Colleagues, Friends,
I want to start by thanking the Presidency for all they have done to enable the finance COP here in Baku.
It has been a difficult journey, but we've delivered a deal.
This new finance goal is an insurance policy for humanity, amid worsening climate impacts hitting every country. But like any insurance policy – it only works – if premiums are paid in full, and on time. Promises must be kept, to protect billions of lives.
This deal will keep the clean energy boom growing, helping all countries to share in its huge benefits: more jobs, stronger growth, cheaper and cleaner energy for all.
We needed this to be an enabling COP - one which helped translate the pledges of COP28 into real-world outcomes to protect people, prosperity, and the planet.
And that’s what we have made possible.
At COP28 the world agreed to triple renewables. At COP29 we tripled climate finance, and countries will work to mobilize much, much more.
At COP28 the world agreed to boost climate resilience. COP29 will help finance real protections for those on the frontlines, especially the most vulnerable.
COP29 also reached global agreement on carbon markets, after almost a decade of hard work, where several previous COPs were not able to get this done.
No country got everything they wanted, and we leave Baku with a mountain of work to do.
The many other issues we need to progress may not be headlines but they are lifelines for billions of people.
So this is no time for victory laps, we need to set our sights and redouble our efforts on the road to Belem.
Even so, we've shown the UN Paris Agreement is delivering, but governments still need to pick up the pace.
Let’s not forget, without this UN-convened global cooperation, we'd be headed towards 5 degrees of global warming.
But we are still a long way off course. Bold new climate plans on the way to Belem will be crucial to getting us back in the race. They must embed the targets we agreed in Dubai, including to rapidly ramp up renewables, transition away from fossil fuels, and transform societies, making them more resilient.
Whole of economy, whole of society plans are crucial.
We've seen clear signals from two G20 countries – UK and Brazil – because stronger climate actions are entirely in the interests of their economies and their people.
Friends – progress here in Baku has been hard won.
I pay tribute to all those who worked around the clock. Even if you didn’t get everything you sought, what you delivered will make billions of lives safer and better.
To those of you who have joined from civil society – your work helps our process make progress. Today we set a new goal, and you will be vital in ensuring that the goal is fulfilled.
To the staff of the Secretariat, you have been stretched beyond belief, and yet time and again, you stood and delivered, so that tens of thousands of people from almost 200 countries could come together and take global climate efforts forward. I have never seen a harder working group of people, that steady the ship when times get tough.
Excellencies, friends, we still have a very long road ahead of us, but here in Baku we took another important step forward.
The UN Paris Agreement is humanity’s life-raft; there is nothing else. So here in Baku and all of the countries represented here in the room we are taking that journey forward together.
I thank you.
