The COP29 Conference, held in Baku in 2024, represents an important milestone in further advancing and implementing the Paris Agreement in the context of strengthening the global fight against climate change. Considering the not-so-favorable climate conditions and the rising climate crisis, COP29 represents a crucial point for identifying solutions and setting new goals. In that regard, the focus of the conference was aimed at new frameworks for financing climate change, relating to the enhancement of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC), the adoption of a new collective financing goal after 2025, as well as support for developing countries. Observing the geopolitical situation, it is evident that numerous economic and political challenges can significantly affect the implementation of previously adopted solutions with particular implications for developing countries. Regarding the outcomes of the conference, COP29 has set new guidelines for global climate policy in relation to climate change, yet questions remain concerning its core implementation. The subject of research in this paper will be examining the development of the international climate regime through the prism of outcomes and challenges of implementation of the COP29 standards. Special attention will be devoted to analyzing the key expectations of the international community in the context of achieving the goals set through COP29.
