CLIMATE REALITY LEADERS

COP29: CLIMATE REALITY LEADERS
UNITING FOR GLOBAL CLIMATE ACTION

As COP29 unfolds in Baku, Azerbaijan, the world watches closely. Leaders and delegates from nearly every nation have gathered from November 11 to 22, 2024, to forge a common path forward against the relentless advance of global warming. This year, all eyes are on the negotiations for the New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG), a new climate finance commitment aimed at mobilizing substantial support for developing countries. The $100 billion pledged yearly since 2020, though a milestone, is now recognized as insufficient in the face of the intensifying climate crisis. Delegates from the Global South, particularly those from vulnerable regions, are pressing for financing that is not just a loan but a lifeline — grants, low-interest loans, and long-term solutions that balance adaptation, mitigation, and the addressing of loss and damage. “This is about justice”, a delegate from a small island nation declares. “We contribute the least to global warming, yet we bear its brunt.” A powerful contingent of Climate Reality Leaders from India and South Asia, over 18 strong, stands at the forefront, pushing for urgent action and equitable policies. Among them are young achievers from the Youth 4 COP initiative, representing a generation that refuses to remain silent. Together, they amplify the call for climate justice, a rallying cry that echoes across negotiations and into the hearts of leaders and citizens worldwide. As the conference progresses, the world waits in anticipation, hopeful for a breakthrough that could reshape the climate future for all.

Who are Climate Reality Leaders?

Climate Reality Leaders are a diverse group of passionate individuals who have come together to solve the greatest challenge of our time i.e. “climate crisis”. These leaders come from all walks of life like activists, educators, cultural leaders, organizers, scientists, or storytellers committed towards building a sustainable future together.
