STORYLINE:
Protesters gathered inside a hall at the COP29 climate summit in Baku on Saturday as part of a global “day of action” for climate justice, traditionally the biggest protest day during the two-week talks.
The demonstration in Azerbaijan’s capital is expected to be echoed at sites around the world in an event that activists have begun marking annually.
Meanwhile, the United Nations climate talks neared the end of their first week on Saturday with negotiators still at work on trying to work how much wealthier nations will pay developing countries adapt to planetary warming.
Negotiators will return to a hoped-for deal that might be worth hundreds of billions of dollars to poorer nations.
Many are in the Global South and already suffering the costly impacts of weather disasters fuelled by climate change.
Several experts have said $1 trillion a year or more is needed both to compensate for such damages and to pay for a clean-energy transition that most countries can’t afford on their own.
