[The UK Prime Minister will head
to Azerbaijan today for Cop 29,
with the main focus being on agreeing a
ten-fold increase in financial aid.

The original target was $100billion but pressure is
mounting to up the figure available
for poor countries to cope with climate change,
and increasing their ambitions on emissions cuts.]


[That goal is competing for resources
and attention against economic concerns,
wars in Ukraine and Gaza, and the
election of Donald Trump,
a climate-change denier,
for a second term as president
of the United States,
the world's biggest economy.

And Sir Keir is one of the only leaders
of a major country who is heading
to Baku at all.

Outgoing US president Joe Biden,
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and
India's Narendra Modi are not expected
to attend.]
