pledges to actions, Joseph Njuguna from Kenya told reporters on the
sidelines of the COP28 in Dubai, Trend reports.
"We are at the forefront of climate initiatives. I support
Azerbaijan in hosting COP 29. We will need to move from ideas to
real actions. That's what we want to see. We need concrete pledges
turning into actions in financial sphere, especially for developing
countries. All we have now are pledges, but this is not enough," he
said.
Njuguna pointed out a need of actual financing the fight against
climate change.
"We are really suffering, we have a big gap between what is
expected and what has been provided. I hope I will have an
opportunity to attend COP 29 in Azerbaijan and make a presentation
there," he added.

announced in Dubai during the COP28 on December 11. The Eastern
European regional group has selected Azerbaijan to host the COP29

negotiations between the Administration of the President of the
Republic of Azerbaijan and the Office of the Prime Minister of
Armenia, Armenia decided to withdraw its candidacy in support of
