Azerbaijan hosting COP29 is a great opportunity for the country and all of us.
As reported on Tuesday by Day.Az with reference to Trend, this was stated by the President of COP29, Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources of Azerbaijan Mukhtar Babayev during a speech at a round table of leaders of sustainable “green” construction in Azerbaijan.
“Thanks to COP29, we will be able to show the world the goals we have achieved and our future projects. As a leading country in the region, Azerbaijan will demonstrate its leadership in solving climate problems in the world. We have visited most countries with our team and have seen how great the interest in this process is. We would like our country, as always, to move forward in this issue in order to set an example for the whole world,” added M. Babayev.
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.
