There was no formal objection to the decision on the New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) at COP29 in Baku last year,

- Jayashree Nandi

NEW DELHI: Yalchin Rafiyev, Lead Negotiator for COP29 Azerbaijan said in among the first comments by the organisers on the controversial climax to the talks.

HT reported on November 25 that the COP29 climate talks ended in unprecedented acrimony even as India led a fierce pushback against what it called a "stage-managed" climate finance deal, moments after the Azerbaijan Presidency hastily gavelled through a contentious proposal amid celebrations, with UN and COP29 Presidency officials embracing.

India sought the floor before the decision was adopted but the cue was not given to India. This led to gavelling of an NCQG text which decided to set a goal of at least $300 billion per year by 2035 for developing country parties for climate action, with developed countries "taking the lead" in contributing. India was the first to reject the decision for not reflecting the priorities of the Global South — a dismissal since endorsed by several developing countries and blocs including the Like-Minded Developing Countries and Nigeria.

It was befitting that the last of the legendary Gandhians should die on Gandhi Jayanti. Dr GG Parikh who passed away on Thursday morning was one of those rare figures whose death at the age of 101 will be mourned not just by the grey eminences talking about a ‘second’ freedom movement, but also by hundreds of young grassroots workers for whom he was an inspiration, and as evidenced by many of them breaking down at his funeral in Mumbai.
