BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 19. It's important for
the COP29 Presidency to listen to all views, develop a program
based on consensus, and find common solutions on climate action
empowering everyone, Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources of
Azerbaijan Mukhtar Babayev said, Trend reports.
The minister made the remark during the 29th High-Level Meeting
themed "Pathway to COP29: Sustainable and Resilient Future" in
Baku.
He pointed out that over the past months, the COP29 team has
conducted extensive consultations with leaders of relevant
international organizations.
"We have seen the commitment of all stakeholders to work
together to address the consequences of our common climate
challenge. During the Petersberg Climate Dialogue, we outlined the
vision for COP29 to enhance ambitions and create opportunities for
action, and now we are ready to move from a broad plan to more
specific pathways.
We aim to support all parties in advancing their ambitions
through national climate action plans, national adaptation plans,
and transparency reports. Azerbaijan is strengthening its efforts,
and we are committed to integrating political participation to
support ongoing substantive discussions. It is time to move forward
in the spirit of solidarity for the sake of the future," Babayev
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.
