News summary

The annual United Nations climate conference, COP29, is set to commence in Baku, Azerbaijan, amidst concerns regarding U.S. involvement following Donald Trump's recent presidential victory. Delegates from over 190 nations will discuss critical topics, including funding for developing countries to combat climate change and new greenhouse gas emission reduction targets for 2035. Notably, the Taliban will participate in COP29 for the first time since their takeover of Afghanistan in 2021, despite lacking official recognition as the country's legitimate government. The Taliban delegation aims to engage with the international community on environmental issues and seek support for Afghanistan's pressing climate challenges. Analysts express concern that Trump's presidency may complicate negotiations, particularly regarding the U.S.'s potential withdrawal from the Paris Agreement designed to limit global temperature rise. The conference runs from November 11 to November 22, with significant participation expected from global leaders, including President Zelenskyy and Prime Minister Mishustin.
