Azerbaijan and UNDP (United Nations Development Program) discussed opportunities for partnership within the framework of COP29
As Day.Az reported on Friday, Azerbaijani Minister of Economy Mikail Jabbarov wrote about this on social network X.
“During the meeting with Alessandra Roccasalvo, UNDP Acting Resident Representative in Azerbaijan, our discussions were devoted to the agenda of cooperation between the organization and our country. We discussed the adoption of financial mechanisms for sustainable development, the prospects for projects aimed at increasing investments in energy efficiency, as well as partnership opportunities at COP29,” the publication 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.
