The list of US food items that the UK says might now see retaliatory tariffs seriously makes you wonder what the HELL is going on with our global food system?!
"edible flours and meals of whales, dolphin and porpoises"
Run don’t walk to see Kyoto at Soho place!
Can’t express just how impressive this play was. (See: a very happy row of Carbon Brief journos and my “Telegraph” press pass)

After tense #COP29 talks, parties agreed on a new climate finance goal... but many argued the USD 300 billion/year was an “insult”
While parties took decisions on carbon markets, on many other issues they remained deadlocked

We've started! COP29 president Babayev says this plenary will gavel items "ready for adoption"
And also urges parties to find consensus on topics still being debated, such as the finance goal, in "the coming hours"
#COP29 QUORUM CHECK
At this point, it’s worth reviewing the UNFCCC rules of procedure:
Two-thirds of Parties must be present for decisions to be made (130/195 parties to the Paris Agreement, or 132/198 for UNFCCC).
1/3
Already a day into overtime and things not looking great at #cop29

How's #cop29 going?
On Twitter, Panama's negotiator Juan Carlos Monterey just posted that two big developing country groups, LDCs and AOSIS, have walked out of consultations…
