The Zurich Climate Resilience Alliance and many of our members will be at COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan to share expertise and evidence advocating for the needs of climate vulnerable communities across the globe. The New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) is the new climate finance goal that will be agreed at COP29 and is the only item on the COP negotiations agenda that mandates an outcome this year. The question that remains is whether this goal will meet the growing needs of countries in the Global South.
With very little time left to reach an agreement on the NCQG, this COP session will provide a space to bring together some key voices in this debate – including policymakers, NGOs, youth and thought leaders – to take stock of progress on the ongoing negotiations and provide a forum for exploring creative solutions to some of the remaining blocks.
When and where?
