The Conference of the Parties, or the COP29 Summit, is happening amid much controversy now that Donald Trump has won the presidential election. It’s ostensibly a group of self-congratulatory world leaders meeting in Baku, Azerbaijan, for photo ops, catered meals, and, a discussion of climate goals they don’t intend to meet.
