UN Cop 29

Decisions made at Cop meetings have far reaching effects across all the markets Argus serves — energy, emissions metals, agricultural, chemicals, fertilizers and freight.

Almost 200 countries agreed on "transitioning away from fossil fuels in energy systems" and tripling renewable power capacity at the UN Cop 28 summit in Dubai last year. Progress at the next two meetings, Cop 29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, in November and Cop 30 in Belem, Brazil, next year will be crucial to transform these ambitions into actions aligned with the Paris Agreement's goals, as countries must get new climate plans ready for next year.

Cop 29 will focus on climate finance — funding the energy transition, in developing countries especially, increasing countries and private sector involvement, as well as sectorial investment. Article 6 and voluntary carbon markets discussions will also take centre stage.

Argus provides key insights into the developments and discussions at Cop, shining a light on how they will affect the global energy and commodity markets.
