Kyrgyzstan is currently working on establishing the Global Dialogue on Mountains and Climate as an annual event at COP29 in Baku.
As reported on Friday by Day.Az with reference to the Administration of the President of Kyrgyzstan, this was stated by the President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov at the Sixth Consultative Meeting of the Heads of State of Central Asia in Astana.
“At the initiative of Kyrgyzstan, one of the final documents of last year’s UN Climate Change Conference (COP28) in Dubai included an item on holding a Global Dialogue on Mountains and Climate Change, which was successfully held on June 5, 2024 in Bonn. We are currently working to consolidate the aforementioned Mountain Dialogue as an annual event at the upcoming UN Climate Change Conference in Baku in November this year and call on the countries of the region to support this initiative,” Japarov said.
The President noted that the implementation of projects aimed at protecting the environment and ecology could help reduce the debt burden for vulnerable states.
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.
