Abstract

The 29th Climate Change Conference (COP29) in Baku revealed a shift in the balance of power in international climate politics following the US elections. While China played a constructive role in the negotiations on international climate finance, vulnerable countries were forced to make painful compromises. Saudi Arabia managed to systematically block progress on mitigation, while middle powers increasingly criticised the EU's climate protection measures. To obviate the risk of isolation and avoid repercussions for its climate and competition agenda, the new European Commission needs to reorientate its climate diplomacy.
