Did COP29 fail women?
The climate crisis is not gender-neutral, so our solutions cannot be. Without a consistent focus on gender-responsive climate finance, we risk perpetuating cycles of vulnerability.

Universities as ministries for sustainable futures?
Universities, not beholden to election cycles or shareholder demands, can invest in research to generate long-term climate data and transcend disciplinary silos, unlike other traditional institutions.

Malaysia’s future COP delegation needs more representation from climate-affected communities, not corporations
At COP29, the country invited 151 corporate representatives and only eight from civil society groups to observe the climate talks. For future COPs, there needs to be a clear, accountable process with strict eligibility criteria for who should be included in the negotiations process.
The decision on who will host COP31 has been deferred until next June. But whether or not Australia ends up winning the bid, the world's third-largest fossil fuel exporter needs to develop a plan to phase out its coal and gas production.
