COP29 in Azerbaijan exposed a stark failure to address the global climate crisis, delivering inadequate and unjust climate finance solutions. Despite urgent calls for trillions in reparative funding for frontline communities, Global North countries limited the agreement to a mere $300 billion by 2035, deepening inequities and prioritizing corporate interests. Loss and Damage discussions fell short, with voluntary commitments reinforcing climate colonialism. This is the ESCR-Net reaction statement of what we witnessed at COP.

As COP29 continues in Baku, climate justice advocates gathered for press conference to underscore that addressing loss and damage from climate change is not an act of charity, but a fundamental human rights obligation.
