STORYLINE:
Physicians and indigenous people staged demonstrations at COP29 to urge a fossil fuel phaseout and for rich countries to pay up for the global climate crisis.

A group of physicians demonstrated CPR on a globe Friday morning at the venue of the UN’s climate change conference in Baku, Azerbaijan, to raise awareness of global warming.

“By making that connection with health we are hoping that allows people to understand that this is really important that we deal with this. We can’t ignore this problem,” said Canadian physician Joseph Vipond.

Indigenous and religious groups sang and played instruments.

“We must make sure that rich countries around the world who’ve contributed to the historical greenhouse gas emission globally need to pay their fair share of what their moral obligation is for the rest of the world,” said Jacob Maurice Johns from the US Climate Action Network.

The chief goal of COP29, as this year’s talks are known, is working out how much money wealthier nations will pay to help developing countries like Sudan.
