Eurasianet is pleased to present a new episode of The Eurasian Climate Brief, a podcast dedicated to climate issues in the region stretching from Eastern Europe to Russia down to the Caucasus and Central Asia.

The 2024 UN Climate Change Conference (COP29) in Baku last November revealed deep divides over climate finance and contentious debates on the right wording of transitioning away from fossil fuels. In this episode Angelina Davydova and Boris Schneider dissect the outcomes of the conference, offering insights into the broader implications for climate action, both globally and for Eurasia in 2025 and beyond. Joining the conversation is Kyrgyz journalist Anastasia Bengard, who attended COP29.
