As Day.Az reported on Friday with reference to Trend, UN Resident Coordinator in Azerbaijan Vladanka Andreeva said this at a joint event between the UN and Pasha Holding on the topic “Dialogues on climate: the road to COP29” in Baku.

Andreeva also mentioned that global warming has reached 1.5 degrees, and this is a very pressing issue – to fulfill obligations to descendants and remain within this temperature, trying to prevent further global warming.
“We must reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 45 percent,” Andreeeva emphasized.
She noted that COP30 will be held in Brazil, and what is decided at COP29 in Baku will affect subsequent climate conferences, as this is an ongoing process.
“COP29 will provide an opportunity to take action to implement a number of actions in the field of climate change. We are developing appropriate models and strategies,” Andreeva added.
