Representatives of more 70 countries will visit Azerbaijan to participate in PreCop.
As Day.Az reports with reference to Trend, this was said by the appointed president of COP29, the Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources Mukhtar Babaev during a round table on the topic “Creating conditions for private financing” at ADA University.
“To participate in PreCop next week, representatives of more than 70 countries will visit Azerbaijan at the level of ministers, deputy ministers and heads of delegations, we will also discuss the new financial goal, Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, and in this regard we have great interest in engaging in the climate agenda private sector, which is one of the largest sources of financing,” he noted.
Let us recall 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, having become the center of the world, 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.
