The final declaration of the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro has given COP29 a general boost, but has not delivered a breakthrough for the faltering negotiations in Baku. The „Leaders’ Declaration“, which delegates and observers at the climate conference had expected to provide new impetus, particularly on the sensitive issues of finance and emissions reduction, verbally supports the conference in Azerbaijan, but leaves it up to the 198 states to decide on the outcome. Therefore, the countries in Baku cannot hope that the G20 will solve their problems.
