COP29 cheatsheet

The document outlines the structure of climate negotiations at COP29, listing various negotiating blocs such as the G77+China, EU, and AOSIS, while providing a glossary of terms and a calendar of thematic focus areas.

• Countries at COP are organized into negotiating groups with varying structures; for example, the EU negotiates as a single entity, whereas the Umbrella Group provides loose coordination for members like the US, Australia, and the UK.
• The G77+China is the largest and oldest negotiating group, consisting of 135 members primarily from developing countries and currently chaired by Uganda.
• Specific vulnerable groups include the Least Developed Countries (LDC), with 46 members chaired by Malawi, and the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS), with 39 members chaired by Samoa, both of which advocate for high ambition and financial commitments.
• The COP29 schedule includes specific thematic days from November 14 to November 21, covering topics such as Finance, Investment, and Trade (Nov 14), Energy, Peace, Relief, and Recovery (Nov 15), and Indigenous Peoples/Gender Equality/Nature and Biodiversity/Oceans and Coastal Zones (Nov 21).
