There is no decision to close schools in connection with COP29 being held in Baku in November.
As reported by Day.Az on Tuesday, Deputy Director of the State Agency for Preschool and General Education of Azerbaijan Orkhan Abbasov said this at a briefing dedicated to the acceptance of electronic documents to preschool educational institutions, as well as to preparatory groups and 1st grades of schools.
Let us recall that in November this year, Azerbaijan will host the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29). The decision to do so was made at the COP28 plenary session held in Dubai on December 11 last year. Over the course of two weeks, Baku, becoming the center of the world, will host 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 stands for Conference of Parties, which is the highest legislative body overseeing the implementation of the Framework Convention on Climate Change.
The convention has 198 parties. Unless the parties decide otherwise, the COP is held annually. The first COP event took place in March 1995 in Berlin, and its secretariat is located in Bonn.
