BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 19. The success of COP29
means success for the whole world, as the 73rd President of the UN
General Assembly Maria Fernanda Espinosa said during the 29th
High-Level Meeting themed "Pathway to COP29: Sustainable and
Resilient Future" in Baku today, Trend reports.
“We have to put our best efforts and brains together with the
highest aspirations and common accountability. I think everyone of
us contributes to COP's success. We are here to educate, to listen,
and to promote a reasoned discussion of climate change. Apart from
that, we wish to contribute to COP29's success. Not only will COP29
succeed, but Azerbaijan will as well,” she added.
The primary objective of convening this top-tier gathering is to
make sure that all stakeholders are on the same page and pulling in
the same direction for the success of COP29 in Azerbaijan's
Baku.
Preparations for COP29 in Baku involve tackling existing global
challenges and opportunities in climate action from all angles.
This November, Azerbaijan will host COP29. This decision was
made at the COP28 plenary meeting held in Dubai on December 11 last
year. Baku will become the center of the world and will receive
about 70–80,000 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.
COP-the Conference of the Parties-is the highest legislative body
overseeing the implementation of the Framework Convention on
Climate Change. There are 198 countries that are parties to the
Convention. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the COP is held
annually. The first COP event took place in March 1995 in Germany's
Berlin, with its secretariat in Bonn.
