STORYLINE:
Protests were on the sidelines of the UN climate talks in Baku, Azerbaijan on Thursday.
Activists staged a protest against fossil fuels and carbon markets, while another protest called for an end to the Israel-Hamas war.
COP29, as this year’s summit is known, has brought together world leaders to discuss ways to limit and adapt to the climate crisis.
After nearly a decade of negotiations, leaders during the United Nations climate conference’s first day decided on some of the finer points of much-debated sticking point aimed at cutting planet-warming emissions from coal, oil and gas.
Known as Article 6, it was set up as part of the 2015 Paris Agreement to help nations work together to reduce climate-causing pollution.
Part of that was a system of carbon credits, allowing nations to put planet-warming gasses in the air if they offset emissions elsewhere.
But the gavelling through of Article 6 late Monday was criticized by climate justice groups, who said carbon markets allow major polluters to keep emitting at the expense of people and the environment.
Scientists agree that the warming of the atmosphere caused primarily by human-burned fossil fuels is fueling deadlier and increasingly catastrophic droughts, flooding, hurricanes and heat.
