BAKU — The 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference, or COP29, opened on Monday in Azerbaijan with a call to show global cooperation was not 'down for the count,' as Donald Trump's reelection hangs over the key discussions.

Countries come to Azerbaijan's capital Baku after new warnings that 2024 is on track to break temperature records, adding urgency to a fractious debate over funding for climate action in poorer countries.
