Captures impactful scenes from the COP29 summit in Baku, alongside significant events worldwide. At COP29, NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Nick Hague delivered a message from the International Space Station, highlighting the urgency for climate action. Held in Azerbaijan, a major oil and gas producer, COP29 faces unique challenges as it aims to keep global warming below 1.5°C, although current global commitments fall short. This has prompted calls for more ambitious actions, especially in climate financing and renewable energy investment.
In Europe, climate protests are unfolding, such as the Milieudefensie movement in the Netherlands, pushing Shell to significantly cut emissions. In Edinburgh, activists oppose the Rosebank oil projects, questioning the contradiction between fossil fuel development and emission reduction goals. COP29’s agenda also emphasizes reducing plastic pollution and protecting oceans, reflecting the diverse environmental priorities shared globally.
The Guardian article also highlights various cultural and environmental scenes worldwide: Hindu rituals in Indonesia and Bangladesh, severe floods in Spain and the Philippines, and the restoration of Rembrandt’s The Night Watch in Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum. These moments illustrate the breadth of cultural, environmental, and climate challenges being faced today.
