Why COP29 should not be ignored
As the world’s biggest climate conference nears in Azerbaijan, observers say little should be expected from a host country that has questionable environmental and human rights credentials. But the talks should not be written off as negotiators work on a deal to compensate climate-vulnerable countries.

Power wheeling can drive corporate investments and advance Indonesia’s renewable energy goals
Allowing private firms to sell clean power directly to consumers via PLN's networks could help the country meet its targets without burdening the national budget and to let the state-owned electricity utility focus on grid modernisation.
A balance between emission and growth warrants integrated energy planning, leading to a low-cost transition pathway for sustainable growth.
Transport
Put a price on shipping emissions
While shipping is essential to the global economy, so is reducing the associated pollution. Requiring shipping companies to pay for their vessels’ greenhouse-gas emissions would go a long way toward advancing this objective, while generating much-needed revenues for climate-vulnerable developing countries.
