COP29 Faces Turmoil Amidst Climate Politics and Funding Challenges
TL;DR Summary
Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev criticized Western double standards at the COP29 summit, which has been marred by accusations of poor leadership and a focus on gas deals over climate action. Aliyev's remarks echoed Russian President Putin's views on Western hypocrisy, while the EU's reliance on Azeri gas amid its energy crisis highlights its own contradictions. Despite calls for a green transition, the summit's focus remains on fossil fuel expansion, with environmental activists like Greta Thunberg barred from attending.
