Known also as Lentisk (MT: Deru), the Mastic Tree’s scientific name Pistacia lentiscus may have us thinking of pistachio nuts – it is indeed a relative of the Pistachio Tree (Pistacia vera) but instead of nuts it produces tiny spherical berries in autumn. These bright red berries turn black upon ripening and are a favourite of many migrating birds which stop over for refuelling and in turn disperse the seeds.

COP stands for the Conference of the Parties, which is the supreme decision-making body of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). COP29 should focus on achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, reinforcing the urgency of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, ensuring global resilience, and addressing climate impacts worldwide. However, there are serious concerns around the recent COPs being hosted in petro-states, and the influence of lobbyists from the oil and gas industry increasingly influencing the global climate talks.

Unfortunately, the outcomes of this year’s COP left much to be desired. One of the most crucial factors that influence the success of COP is the host country. It is not the first time that an authoritarian petro-state, with no respect for human rights, is hosting COP.

The ambiguous outcomes of COP29 are often characterised as 'key', but it’s uncertain whether the doors they unlock lead to the right destination—limiting global warming to 1.5°C and climate justice. Here, we present a bird’s eye view of the main outcomes from COP29, this year’s global climate summit held in Azerbaijan, and what lies ahead.
