Will COP29 yield a viable agreement on climate change? | Inside Story

World leaders are meeting to address the climate crisis. Azerbaijan is hosting this year's UN COP29 conference, with delegates tackling ways to curb global warming. Scientists warn progress is not on track and inaction could cause irreversible damage to our planet. Funding is also on the agenda. Developing nations need lots of it - up to a trillion dollars, to help reduce the impact of natural disasters, made worse by climate change. But some are questioning if the re-election of Donald Trump, a climate change sceptic, will change plans or even derail agreements. So will politics play a role at this gathering?
