  • Yes, COP29 was too little, too late. But it’s a reality we must accept – at least for nowBy Irina Kustova, Christian Dietz and Renske van Hoof


    COP29 left many disappointed, seen by many as a choice between failure and disaster. Fair criticism but the Paris Agreement is still delivering as it was designed to do – namely a bottom-up, consensus-driven framework.


    While COP29 was mainly seen as a stepping stone to COP30, when updated national climate plans are expected to be presented, the bar was set high this year for hammering out a landmark climate finance deal. However, COP outcomes often reflect the lowest common denominator; some proposals are inevitably too modest for some and too ambitious for others.


    This means success or failure is rarely a clear-cut binary. While these two weeks of COPs always capture the global spotlight, they’re merely steps in an incremental, consensus-driven process. As the European Commissioner for Climate aptly put it: ‘It is less than what we would have liked, but better than we feared’.
