protection in emerging economies (excluding

<P style="MARGIN: 0px"><SPAN

this amount of finance is to stimulate domestic

a critical task: to bring green industrialization
into clear, sharp focus - defining how it can
drive inclusive economic growth worldwide. Right
now, we have the broad outlines, but the vision

economies. By agreeing on a shared blueprint for
green industrialization, we can create a clear,

Climate Finance Framework,</A><SPAN
style="FONT-STYLE: italic"> endorsed as the UAE
consensus, that was launched last year to make
climate finance accessible and impactful,
especially for developing nations. The Framework’s
10-point agenda outlines practical steps to
mobilize various financing sources—from crowding
in private sector funds with credit enhancements
from Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) and
global philanthropy, to loss and damage financing,
and biodiversity protection.</SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px"><SPAN
style="FONT-STYLE: italic"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px"><SPAN
style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Thirdly, COP 29 should
strengthen the global commitment to move away from
fossil fuels. In 2022, fossil fuel subsidies
reached an astonishing USD 7 trillion, or USD 13
million per minute, according to the IMF—far
outpacing the USD 2.4 trillion needed annually to
meet global climate goals. Redirecting even half
of fossil fuel subsidies to climate finance would
yield USD 3.5 trillion, greatly exceeding the
financing pledged currently. </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px"><BR></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px"><SPAN
style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Lastly, COP 29 should
confirm what robust transition plans should look
like. This is key to determining which transition
plans get funded. Whether it’s an African country
needing external support or a Gulf nation
deploying own resources to manage its transition -
clear, well-defined plans are essential.
Transitioning involves more than merely halting
production; it requires phasing down brown fuels
through optimization before closure. </SPAN></P>

carbon markets?</SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px"><BR></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px"><SPAN
style="FONT-STYLE: italic">A clear space to raise
finance for low-income countries is carbon
markets, so we need the COP conversations to drive
progress on Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, to
unlock that potential. If structured effectively
and transparently, carbon markets can drive a huge
part of the revenue needed for green development
and climate finance in places like
Africa.</SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px"><SPAN
style="FONT-STYLE: italic">To raise integrity, we
need to shift from voluntary to compliance-based
carbon markets; establishing mandatory rules and
standards for measuring, reporting, and verifying
emissions reductions. This would reduce risks of
greenwashing or inaccurate reporting, helping to
ensure that carbon credits genuinely represent
measurable emissions reductions, turning them into
reliable financial assets.</SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px"><BR></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px"><SPAN
style="FONT-STYLE: italic">We also need
interoperability so that carbon credits can be
priced and traded consistently across regions.
Currently, many carbon markets are
region-specific: two carbon credits from different
regions might be priced differently, not because
one is inherently more effective in reducing
emissions, but because of regional factors like
local demand or market rules. Standardizing carbon
credits to reflect the true asset or commodity
value, would streamline pricing, making credits
more comparable and tradable across global
markets. This would allow investors to
transparently assess carbon credits - ultimately
boosting trust in the carbon market.</SPAN></P>

global climate finance goal that leaders shall set
from a floor of USD 100 billion per year, prior to
2025. It is crucial that we make significant
progress on the NCQGs, as they will underpin many
countries' mitigation and adaptation strategies.
Given 80% of emissions come from just 20% of
countries, we hope G20 nations will arrive in
Baku, firstly, ready to clarify their own paths to
net zero, and secondly to outline a framework to
support global efforts in a credible and
sustainable manner.</SPAN></P>
