The COP29 Presidency Negotiating Group took part in discussions at the 16th International Forum on Sustainable Development in Asia and the Pacific (ISAP) in Tokyo, Japan on 23 July.
This was reported on Tuesday by Day.Az with reference to the official COP29 account on the social network “X”.
“Representatives of Azerbaijan outlined the vision of the COP29 presidency to achieve results under Article 6 of the Paris Climate Agreement (2015), which concerns the development of carbon markets to support sustainable development in the world,” the statement said.
As noted on the website of this international forum, “the Earth is currently facing a ‘triple crisis’ – climate change, biodiversity loss and environmental pollution, and the Paris Agreement, the Kunming-Montreal Framework for Biodiversity and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) should help solve these problems.”
The event’s organisers point out that “the presence of problems such as climate change, loss of biodiversity and environmental pollution create obstacles to sustainable development, and a comprehensive approach is needed to find solutions.”
In this regard, the importance of the upcoming 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, which will take place in Baku from 11 to 22 November, was noted.
