COP29 must deliver the goods
Geopolitical turmoil must not be allowed to distract global decision-makers from the urgent imperative of tackling climate change. There is no excuse for letting COP29 conclude without delivering ambitious, credible financing commitments to support climate action – including the clean-energy transition – in developing economies.
Policy & Finance
Inclusive finance is the key to climate action

As developed countries set new climate-finance targets at COP29, they should also devise more inclusive financial services and products to ensure that resources reach vulnerable communities.
To encourage greater water reuse, India must prioritise infrastructure development, implement sound policies and allow private sector participation.
Brands and businesses may be tempted to exploit certifications to garner a larger market share at the expense of integrity.
