Cop29: UK commitment to cut greenhouse gas emissions must be ‘starting point, not finish line’, climate advisers say – live updates

Climate scientists and advisers back new UK commitment but warn that there is still work to be done

In the halls of Cop29, activists from Oil Change International gathered around a computer to watch a Dutch court’s ruling on a major ruling.

In this morning’s verdict, the Dutch appeals court struck down a 2021 ruling ordering oil and gas giant Shell to cut emissions by 45% by 2030 from 2019 levels. The activists were devastated.
