Azerbaijan oil hub hosts climate summit while Trump win raises global concerns
Climate leaders question UN conference effectiveness as fossil-fuel companies join talks in oil-rich Azerbaijan. Recent Trump election win puts future climate deals at risk while experts suggest new ways to tackle warming
The UN climate meeting in oil-rich Azerbaijan brings up tough questions about global warming solutions. Donald Trumpʼs recent win creates doubts about US climate promises; many experts think Washington will drop its green commitments when he takes office in 01/2025
The summit in Baku (a major oil-producer) got extra attention due to fossil-fuel companies being there. Last week Ban Ki-moon and other big-name climate experts sent a letter saying these talks dont work anymore: they pointed out too many oil-people at the meeting
The COP process is no longer fit for purpose
Various solutions are getting talked about now. Hereʼs what different experts suggest:
- Rich people should pay more to fix climate damage
- Banks need stricter rules about green investing
- Poor countries could trade debt for nature protection
- Local activism might work better than big meetings
The meeting shows how hard it is to mix oil-business and climate-fixing in one place. While some push for quick changes others say we need different ways to stop earth from heating up — the planet is getting close to that 1‚5-degree mark nobody wants to hit
