    Decoding COP29 – Key outcomes on carbon markets and climate finance

    The UN Climate Change Conference took place against a backdrop of escalating geopolitical tensions and political divisions, yet it marked a significant step forward for carbon markets. For the first time in nearly a decade, nations reached a consensus on the rules for international carbon trading under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. World leaders also set new climate finance targets, with developed countries taking the lead in channeling at least $300 billion a year to developing countries by 2035, but many developing countries left the talks unimpressed.   In this episode, Eklavya Gupte, Roman Kramarchuk, Jonty Rushforth, and Ivy Yin analyse these key developments and explore their implications for climate policy, carbon markets, and the wider energy transition.

    China’s critical minerals dominance and the implications for the global energy transition

    With the world’s renewable energy capacity reaching record levels, attention has shifted to the risks involved in sourcing critical minerals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and graphite, essential for sustaining these industries. China’s dominance over global critical minerals supply chains has led the US, EU, and other major consumers to diversify their foreign sources while also developing domestic resources and strengthening recycling capacity. In this podcast, S&P Global Commodity Insights’ Euan Sadden, senior editor for EMEA, is joined by Leah Chen, team lead for battery metals, and Nick Trickett, senior analyst for metals and mining. They examine this dynamic and consider whether China should be recognized as a partner or a competitor by Western economies in the realm of critical minerals and the renewable energy transition.
