The COP29 Presidency’s plan is based on two mutually reinforcing parallel pillars. The first pillar — to ‘enhance ambition’ — combines key elements to ensure all parties commit to ambitious national plans and transparency. The second pillar — to ‘enable action’ — reflects the critical role of finance, a key tool to turn ambition into action and reduce emissions, adapt to climate change and address loss and damage.
Ipieca’s role at COP29
The Ipieca Principles, a condition of membership, show what we stand for: supporting key UN Agreements and environmental and social good practice that aligns with them. In accordance with that, Ipieca has attended every single COP since the inaugural event, held in Berlin in 1995. As a non-lobby organization, Ipieca’s role is to listen to negotiations and to provide industry technical inputs and feedback on the issues under discussion when required.
