The UN’s climate chief, Simone Stiell, stated on Tuesday, at the COP29 talks in Baku, that global action on climate change is robust and will endure despite Donald Trump’s re-election.

Trump’s election sweep has cast a long shadow over proceedings in Azerbaijan, with concerns that the imminent US withdrawal from the landmark 2015 Paris deal could undermine ambition around the negotiating table because he pledged to withdraw from the Paris agreement.

Stiell reiterated calls for the meeting to show that global solidarity on climate was not dead, noting that Global cooperation is the only way humanity survives global warming.

The crunch talks are centred on increasing finance to help developing countries adapt to climate change and wean their economies off fossil fuel, but the small group of rich countries currently paying the funds want to see the donor pool expanded, and are resisting calls for the current pledge of $100 billion a year to be raised ten-fold.
