COP29 spends its first day in the shadow of Donald Trump

After opening in Azerbaijan on Monday, COP29 has until November 22 to reach an agreement on funding the 'green' transition of developing countries. This effort is under strain due to Donald Trump's return to the US presidency in 2025. Trump has called global warming a 'hoax,' while the World Meteorological Organization warns that the year 2024 will mark the first temperature increase over 1.5°C.
