How COP29 Inspires Action at Home with Your Food – No Waste Inventory
What is COP29?
The 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference, or COP29, took place in Baku, Azerbaijan, from November 11–24, 2024. COP stands for “Conference of the Parties,” a gathering of nearly 200 countries under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
At COP29, world leaders tackled critical climate issues. They focused on increasing climate financing for developing nations, setting a new goal of $300 billion annually by 2035. They also finalized agreements on carbon markets, allowing countries to trade carbon credits to meet emission reduction targets. Additionally, they worked on strengthening transparency and accountability in climate action.
While these large-scale agreements are vital, COP29 also highlighted the importance of collective and individual action in achieving the global climate goals. Everyone, from governments to households, has a role to play.
The Climate Cost of Food Waste
Food waste accounts for 8–10% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It also represents a colossal waste of energy, water, and resources. Addressing food waste is a powerful way to contribute to the climate action goals discussed at COP29.
