This year’s focus includes increased funding for climate resilience, equitable transitions away from fossil fuels and maintaining the target of limiting warming to 1.5°C. Speaking to Vatican News, Lorna of the Laudato Si’ Movement emphasized COP29’s importance. She highlighted challenges from fossil fuel lobbies but noted positive civil society involvement, including advocacy for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty. She underlined the call for intensified climate financing and equitable, urgent actions to support vulnerable communities.
