https://nation.africa/ This year’s COP has opened amid heightened geo-political tensions. The timing of COP29, a week after the US elections, intensified concerns among climate advocates and sent a wave of uncertainties regarding the future of the climate talks. The re-election of Donald Trump as US president, a known sceptic of climate change, had already sent shivers across the climate space even before the climate talks.
However, it is not just the US elections that have made this COP atypical. The climate affair is a political affair. It is therefore expected that heads of state attend COP conferences at the beginning of the event, usually during the first few days to set the tone for the conference.
