Conférence des Nations Unies sur les changements climatiques à Bakou - novembre 2024
Après des négociations tendues, les parties se sont accordées sur un nouvel objectif de financement climatique. Mais beaucoup ont estimé que le montant de 300 milliards de dollars par an était une « insulte ». Si les parties ont adopté des décisions sur les marchés du carbone dans le cadre de l’Accord de Paris, elles sont restées dans l’impasse sur de nombreux autres sujets, notamment celui de la transition énergétique.
