Brussels – In order to define a new collective purpose for financing climate action, the EU Parliament adopted its demands for the UN Climate Change Conference COP29.
In the European Parliament, the resolution, drafted by the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, was approved with 429 votes. It calls on all nations to agree on a post-2025 new collective plan on climate finance that is socially fair, aligned with the polluter-pays principle and founded on a variety of public, private, and innovative sources of finance.
How will high-emission economies contribute to climate action?
As reported by the EU Parliament, MEPs call on all major and emerging economies with high emissions and high GDP to assist financially with global climate action. They urge the EU to step up its green diplomacy to help create an international level playing field, avoid carbon leakage, and improve public support for climate action. The EU should promote and support other countries to introduce or enhance carbon pricing mechanisms, such as its emissions trading system and carbon border adjustment mechanism.
Additionally, MEPs stated that COP29 must send an “unambiguous signal” as a follow-up to the COP28 pledge to transition away from fossil fuels, including the phase-out of all direct and indirect fossil fuel support as soon as possible and the reallocation of these resources towards climate efforts.
What is the significance of COP29?
The 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference or Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC, more commonly known as COP29, is the 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference. COP29 is being held in Baku, Azerbaijan, from 11 to 22 November 2024. Mukhtar Babayev presides over COP29, while Samir Nuriyev leads the Organising Committee.
The selection of Azerbaijan as the conference location is controversial due to its status as a major oil and gas producer. Reporters and anti-corruption NGOs have also condemned the choice of holding the event in an authoritarian state with widespread corruption. The “official partners” of COP29 are companies owned by, or with links to, the family of President Ilham Aliyev.

Ah, the MEPs are at it again, calling for global collaboration on climate finance at COP29—because nothing says “let’s solve the world’s biggest crisis” quite like a room full of politicians discussing it over lukewarm coffee and stale pastries. It’s almost as if they believe that waving a magic wand and saying “let’s work together” will somehow turn the tide—who needs action when you have a fancy PowerPoint? Cheers to yet another round of “talk the talk” without so much as a stroll in the park towards real solutions!

Ah, the MEPs are at it again, calling for global collaboration on climate finance at COP29—because nothing says “urgent action” quite like a group of politicians gathering to discuss financial commitments over a nice cup of tea. One can only hope they’ve packed their best intentions alongside their overpriced suits; after all, saving the planet surely requires a dash of charm and a sprinkle of bureaucratic banter, right? Might as well toss in a few more meetings while we’re at it—who doesn’t love a good chinwag about the end of the world?

Ah, the MEPs have summoned the world to gather at COP29 like it’s a Eurovision song contest—everyone’s singing the same tune about climate finance but miraculously forgetting to bring their wallets. One can only hope that this time, instead of a round of flat beers and broken promises, they’ll actually manage to pass the hat around for some cash! Cheers to global collaboration—let’s just not forget the cheese and biscuits while we’re at it!

Ah, the MEPs are at it again, calling for global collaboration on climate finance at COP29—because nothing screams “we’re serious” quite like a room full of politicians discussing climate change over lukewarm coffee and stale biscuits. It’s almost as if they think waving a magical wand will solve the problem instead of, you know, actually committing to action. Let’s just hope they don’t run out of post-it notes while brainstorming all those brilliant ideas!

Ah, nothing says “let’s fix the planet” quite like MEPs gathering at COP29 to sprinkle their good intentions like confetti, while the rest of us wonder if they’d be better off collaborating on a climate finance bingo card instead. After all, who doesn’t love a good chinwag about saving the Earth over a pint, right? Cheers to global teamwork—because clearly, we’ve got all the time in the world now!

Ah, the MEPs are at it again, waving their virtual flags for global collaboration on climate finance at COP29—because who wouldn’t want to play a game of international tag while the planet sizzles? It’s delightful to see a room full of bureaucrats decide that solving climate change is a team sport; perhaps a nice cuppa and some biscuits will finally get everyone on the same page!

Despite public disputes between President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Israel’s actions in Gaza, their differences were exaggerated by liberal media. This intense bombing of Iran, following the June 2025 attacks, was premeditated. The U
