5. SOUNDBITE (English) Inger Anderson, Executive Director, U.N. Environment Programme:
"Clearly, the biggest issue is a new collective quantified goal (NCQG). I mean, that’s the conversation piece. That’s a big deliverable of this COP and that’s the most complex thing. And so you know, that’s what the world will want out of this. And so I think this is where we should be watching. We’re not there yet, but we have one more week. And so let’s see what happens at the end of the week.”

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Cedric Schuster, Chair of the Alliance of Small Island States:
"There’s still a lot to be sorted out, but there’s been progress. There’s few concerns that we have. We’re here, this being a finance COP. And we need an NCQG that is going to be workable, that acknowledges and recognizes the special needs of the most vulnerable.”

12. SOUNDBITE (English) Jennifer Morgan, German climate envoy:
"At the halfway point, I think we are seeing lots of text of negotiations, countries putting brackets around a lot of things which show there’s not yet an agreement. But a constructive atmosphere to negotiate. Leading into next week, what needs to happen is the presidency, the Azeri presidency needs to work with its co-facilitator ministers. So ministers, I’ve been here the whole time, but most ministers are arriving next week to be working on narrowing down the options so that we can make some decisions at the end of next week.”
13. Various of signage in COP29 venue
14. SOUNDBITE (English) Ani Dasgupta, CEO, World Resources Institute:
"This is the hard COP. It’s about figuring out how much money will be there as a climate finance for the next ten years. The first week actually is all about getting the technical things done. So that’s setting up the stage for the financial discussion. The finance discussion is about numbers and actually political decisions to be made about those numbers from all governments.”

17. SOUNDBITE (English) Hamira Kobusingye, climate activist:
"How slow the negotiations are going and how they are going away from humanity and how they are going against humanity every time the negotiations are happening. COP has become a business event instead of becoming a climate conference where policies about climate action and the welfare towards combating the climate crisis.”

STORYLINE:
Distractions were bigger than deals in the first week of United Nations climate talks, leaving a lot to be done, especially on the main issue of money.
In week one, not a lot of progress was made on the issue of how much money rich countries should pay to developed ones move away from dirty fuels, cope with rising seas and temperatures and pay for damage already caused by climate-driven extreme weather.
