UK Climate Minister Kerry McCarthy is currently on a visit to Azerbaijan.
According to Day.Az, the British Ambassador to Baku announced this in his video message Fergus Old.
The Ambassador noted that Minister McCarthy will lead the British delegation to events related to PreCOP.
Let us remind you that the PreCOP event will take place in Azerbaijan on October 10-11. Each Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is preceded by a preparatory meeting known as PreCop, which is held approximately one month before the conference. The purpose of this meeting is to provide an informal setting for a selected group of countries to discuss and exchange views on some of the major political aspects of the negotiations, in order to propose, to the extent possible, policy recommendations for future negotiations.
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 November this year in Azerbaijan. 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.
