The COP29 summit in Baku explores crucial climate-related terms, including UNFCCC, NCQG, and NDCs, as it tackles discussions around energy policy and financial aid. Delegates aim to set new targets and strategies for climate finance and reduction of emissions.

The meeting also revisits the Paris Agreement, encouraging updates to national emission-cutting pledges and further exploring the potential of net-zero strategies. With global warming as a central concern, effective use of greenhouse gas terms and targets remain pivotal.

A significant highlight of COP29 is the negotiation of rules for carbon trading under Article 6. This could streamline international trade in carbon credits, with the 'loss and damage' fund playing a key role in assisting countries affected by climate-induced events.
