The United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP29, is being held in Baku, Azerbaijan, with a focus on climate finance, loss and damage, and the role of fossil fuel-rich nations in addressing climate change. As the host, Azerbaijan, a major oil producer, is under scrutiny for its environmental policies. Delegates from around the world, including the Philippines, are cautiously optimistic but emphasize the need for concrete financial commitments to support vulnerable nations. The conference is seen as a critical moment for advancing global climate action and securing funding for climate-related damages.

While addressing climate change is important, we need to make sure that any financial commitments don’t hurt our own economies or overburden taxpayers. It's also unrealistic to expect fossil fuel-rich nations to just abandon their energy resources without a solid plan for economic transition.

It’s about time these global summits stop being all talk and start delivering real, binding financial commitments. Fossil fuel-rich nations like Azerbaijan need to step up and take responsibility for the damage their industries have caused. Vulnerable countries have been bearing the brunt of climate change for too long without adequate support. If COP29 doesn't deliver substantive results, it’s just another missed opportunity for meaningful action.

It's wild how we're still expecting oil-rich nations to lead on climate solutions when they're the ones profiting from the destruction in the first place—real climate justice means breaking free from fossil fuels and redistributing wealth to those most affected.

More government bureaucrats and corporate cronies pretending they can "solve" climate change by taking more of our money and controlling the market—let people innovate freely instead!
Why should taxpayers be forced to foot the bill for these global climate schemes? Let the free market and innovation handle it instead of more government control and endless spending.
