Behind the Scenes of COP29

With COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan now concluded, the conference ultimately delivered mixed results. In this episode of Fixed on ESG, we analyse the key takeaways from the event, including the geopolitical tensions, financial commitments, and growing Global North-South divide that influenced the outcomes. We also highlight under-the-radar wins, such as methane reduction pledges and the establishment of new carbon market rules, and finally, consider whether COP can continue to drive meaningful change.

PGIM Fixed Income’s John Ploeg, CFA, Co-Head of ESG Research, hosts this discussion with Nuvneet Dhillon, CFA, ESG Specialist.
