COP29: key themes
The United Nations (UN) Conference of Parties, or COP, sees governments gather annually to discuss and find solutions to tackle climate change. Following COP29, we show how some of the key themes that were in focus at the conference are also important to us.
Does Shell take part in COP?
From November 11 to November 22, 2024, COP29 took place in Baku, Azerbaijan鈥.
Government, industry, and consumers all have a vital role to play if the world is to meet the more ambitious goal of the Paris Agreement and limit the rise in global average temperature this century to 1.5掳C above pre-industrial levels. This goal is becoming ever more challenging as the world rapidly consumes the remaining carbon budget, as highlighted in our Energy Security Scenarios.
COP29 was an opportunity for governments and policymakers to further step up their climate ambitions and define how they will transform these ambitions into action, as they simultaneously reduce emissions and prepare for the impact of climate change, including the allocation of finance.
A small number of attendees from Shell were present to gather external insights and latest policy developments, engage with key stakeholders and strengthen partnerships.
