BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 11. The COP29 outcome document will point the world in the right direction, Senior Advisor to the US President on International Climate Policy John Podesta said during a briefing at COP29 in Baku, Trend reports.
“The US has worked with the COP29 chairmanship and with our colleagues around the world on several issues. Tomorrow, for example, we'll be co-hosting a summit with China and Azerbaijan on methane to reduce something that sometimes doesn't get as much attention but is entirely responsible for half of the greenhouse effect, global warming. So we will continue to encourage people to work hard on a new funding formula for a new aggregate quantitative goal,” he said.
Podesta noted that we need to be realistic.
“We're making progress in finalizing Article 6. And we're working, I think, on important outcomes that build on the success of the Dubai Consensus, especially in the energy sector, where tripling the renewable judiciary requires more effort. An outcome of COP29 will hopefully point the world in the right direction. So there is still a lot of work to be done. Our team is here to make sure that work gets done,” he said.
