The departure of Argentina from the global climate talks COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, adds to concerns about the global climate fight, following the re-election of climate crisis sceptic Donald Trump.
Argentinian negotiators have been summoned home from global climate talks in Azerbaijan by the President Javier Milei's government. The team were ordered to pack up and leave on Wednesday, just three days into the two-week COP29 summit in Azerbaijan.
Other officials close to the process also said they had not caught wind of any other country wavering. Delegates at COP29 have generally been reassured by the fact that the last time Mr Trump pulled the US out of the Paris Agreement, no other countries followed suit, despite fears of a domino effect. On Sunday, one of Azerbaijan's top officials told Sky News the US team remained 'constructive', while the US climate envoy has said the fight is 'bigger than one election'.
