At COP29 in Azerbaijan, tensions are rising as Saudi Arabia resists calls to reaffirm last year's commitment to transition away from fossil fuels. Negotiators from Europe and the US advocate for restating this historic pledge, emphasizing its importance in combating climate change. Despite initial support for the fossil fuel deal made last year, Saudi Arabia is employing tactics to delay or block discussions on emissions reductions. The current negotiations aim to secure enhanced climate financing for poorer nations and encourage countries to submit more ambitious climate strategies, amid concerns that failure to reiterate the commitment to cut fossil fuels may undermine global climate efforts.
