Lack of focus on nature and farming solutions at climate summit, say campaigners

Focus on nature and agriculture-based solutions has been lacking at the UN climate summit this week, campaigners said.

Cop29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, has reached its final stages but activists say the role of nature, such as forests, soil and farming has not had enough air time during the two-week summit.

Nature plays a vital role in absorbing man-made greenhouse gas emissions while land-based and marine ecosystems can help to regulate the climate and mitigate against impacts of global warming.
