The United Nations Development Program (UNDP or UNDP) is supporting the Government of Azerbaijan in combating the impacts of climate change and in working on the upcoming COP29.
As Day.Az reported on Thursday, this was stated in a message from the UNDP office in Azerbaijan.
“We would like to inform you that Nazim Mamedov, UNDP National Coordinator for Environmental Projects, has been appointed COP29 Coordinator for UNDP in Azerbaijan,” the message mentioned.
Mamedov has already successfully implemented a number of energy efficiency projects that have contributed to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Azerbaijan.
“We will be happy to work together with Azerbaijan for the SDGs and on November 11-24 at the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change,” the message also said.
It should be noted that the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) will be held in Azerbaijan this November. This decision was made at the COP28 plenary meeting held in Dubai on December 11 last year. Within two weeks, Baku will become the center of the world and will receive about 70-80 thousand foreign guests.
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is an agreement signed at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in June 1992 to prevent dangerous human interference with the climate system. The abbreviation COP (Conference of Parties) stands for Conference of the Parties, which is the highest legislative body overseeing the implementation of the Framework Convention on Climate Change.
There are 198 countries that are parties to the convention. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the COP is held annually. The first COP event took place in March 1995 in Berlin, and its secretariat is located in Bonn.
