Baku: UN climate talks in Baku mark a "moment of truth" for the Paris agreement, COP29 president Mukhtar Babayev said Monday, as a US withdrawal from the pact looms after Donald Trump's re-election.
Countries come to Baku after new warnings that 2024 is on track to break temperature records, adding urgency to a fractious debate over climate funding.
"We are on a road to ruin," Babayev warned at the start of the two-week conference in Azerbaijan's capital, pointing to recent deadly floods in Spain and other climate catastrophes.
Trump has pledged to once again withdraw the United States from the landmark Paris agreement, which set the ambitious goal of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
"COP29 is a moment of truth for the Paris agreement," said Babayev.
