The decor is in place. Abusing green and pale blue tones, it aims to suggest, of course, “natural” colors as much as to evoke a feeling of calm.

Even before the start of the work, on November 11, this 29th Climate Conference of the Parties (COP29) was presented as a simple “transition” conference. Last year, the negotiators struggled, before ultimately obtaining the promise of a “transition away from fossil fuels”. Next year, in Brazil, States will have to be much more precise, each putting on the table their national climate action plan (NDC) intended to show how they intend to get closer to this objective.
