The UNFCCC Climate Conference (COP29) was hosted in Baku, Azerbaijan from the 11th to 22nd of November, 2024. This year, the climate conference was focused on delivering on climate finance. The WECF Delegation was ready to bring the importance of gender to the climate negotiations (UNFCCC COP29), carrying on this spirit from the biodiversity negotiations (CBD COP16), which took place shortly beforehand in Cali, Colombia.

Back from COP29- How did it go?
At COP29, we followed several negotiation streams with an ecofeminist lens, whilst putting a spotlight on gender just solutions to the climate crisis together with our partners. We also held with the Women & Gender Constituency the popular annual gender just climate solutions award ceremony, along with several side-events with our many partners.
Looking back on COP29, WECF is full of mixed reflections, celebrating the success of the adoption of a 10-year extension on the Lima work programme on gender, however also a bitter taste of failure to
respond to the urgency of the climate crisis and the needs of frontline communities.
