Negotiations at the 29th Conference of Parties (COP29) to the UNFCCC are entering their second week after things got off to a rocky start.

Many were stunned that COP29 would again be hosted by a petro state.

Azerbaijan 's deputy energy minister (and chief executive of COP29 ) has been caught on tape using conference to advance oil investment deals.

There is a growing danger that governments, industry and the public rely on nature-based solutions to maintain the status quo.

Shell Canada is promoting its efforts to ensure "the protection and restoration of natural ecosystems such as forests, grasslands and wetlands" Such efforts will prove futile and, as we have shown, natural carbon sinks do not stop warming.

Policy negotiations should be focused on eliminating emissions at source and developing approaches to directly extract and geologically store carbon dioxide already present in the atmosphere.
