The COP29 Climate and Energy Declaration Tracker highlights major climate and energy commitments announced at COP29. While we strive to include the most significant declarations, this tool is not a comprehensive list of all pledges made at the conference. Some announcements, particularly those related to smaller or more specific initiatives, may not be included. The tracker is intended as a resource for tracking key global actions, and we recommend consulting official COP29 documentation for a complete record of all commitments.
