The 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP29) in Baku advanced agreements on major global climate policy issues—most notably the global stocktake and climate finance— which were considered unsatisfactory by many. National political and geopolitical dynamics in 2025, including the US presidential elections and ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the Middle East, further changed the global climate policy landscape. Finding effective and just approaches that advance strong climate action toward meeting the 1.5°C target will be no easy feat for the Parties in upcoming climate meetings in Bonn and COP30 in Brazil. This seminar examines the current state of international climate policy and offers reflections on what lies ahead, both challenges and solutions. Is the newly committed climate finance sufficient? How are the dynamics of the global north and global south affecting climate negotiations and their outcomes? In light of global dynamics and the US’ withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, can future meetings, especially COP30, meaningfully advance unresolved agenda items from the previous COPs, including transitioning away from fossil fuels? And what future policy actions are needed for countries to move beyond limitations of the international climate regime in a just manner, especially for developing countries?
