THE 29th edition of the Conference of Parties (COP29) begins on November 11 in Baku, Azerbaijan—and all indications are that it could be contentious for sure, and if the concrete decisions follow from the discussions, then also groundbreaking. Tanvi Deshpande has been covering the last several editions of COP for IndiaSpend. In an earlier piece in the run-up to COP29, Tanvi reported on why a new climate change finance goal has become the bone of contention between developed and developing nations.

Mumbai: Another year and another climate conference is upon us, this one in Azerbaijan. It will start off on a positive note for India which recently hit the 200 GW mark in its non-fossil fuels installed capacity, or how much power it can produce from energy sources such as solar and wind. But the world is still far behind in its attempt to halt the juggernaut of global warming, and India can do better.

In next month’s COP29 at Baku in Azerbaijan, the centrepiece will be the next climate finance goal – who should pay, to whom and how much is already being challenged. Even though India’s southwest monsoon season is officially over, it left much loss and damage in its wake. The most devastating disaster this season was the landslide in Kerala’s Wayanad which killed over 400. The impact of climate change on India’s weather systems is well recorded.

Mumbai: Even though India’s southwest monsoon season is officially over, it left much loss and damage in its wake. The most devastating disaster this season was the landslide in Kerala’s Wayanad which killed over 400. The impact of climate change on India’s weather systems is well recorded. As every season becomes more intense and deadly, people are grappling with more intense and longer droughts, floods, landslides, cyclones, heatwaves and such.

A large share of the season’s rains falling in a span of days or weeks, regions of the country that normally do not see very heavy rainfall seeing large excess, states like Bihar and Punjab seeing deficient rainfall – these are some important features of this monsoon so far. Like last year, parts of North East India have seen deficient rainfall this year as well along with parts of Jammu and Kashmir, and Himachal Pradesh.
