As the COP29 currently takes place, we found out people’s views on climate change and what solutions could be considered.

The next major United Nations meeting on climate change, known as COP29, is about to get underway in Baku, Azerbaijan. These annual meetings are the key international summits as the world attempts to address the unfolding climate crisis.

Javid Gara is a 32-year-old, self-employed electrician who moved from Baku to England’s Manchester three years ago. He also runs Azerbaijan’s only independent climate group, campaigning to clean up the environment and cut emissions.

The 2024 summit in Azerbaijan comes amid fresh reports showing that global warming levels are accelerating, bringing more intense climate-related disasters and an increased demand for funding to mitigate and protect communities from the effects of climate change.

COP29 kicks off in Baku, uniting nearly all nations to address climate finance and evaluate global progress in tackling climate change.

Money is a central focus of the climate talks being held in Azerbaijan and the success of the summit is likely to be judged on that goal.

Cop29 finally gets under way in Baku; will nations be able to push for greater progress or will the negotiations stall?

The UN's World Meteorological Organization (WMO) signalled the highest alarm level in the face of the speed of climate change, at the opening of a major international conference in Azerbaijan on Monday.
