BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 19. COP29 will build on
the COP28 achievements and will allow for the implementation of
solutions tailored to specific countries, Global Program Lead for
Climate and health at the World bank Tamer Rabie told Trend .
"I want to thank the government of Azerbaijan for taking on the
chairmanship of COP29. This will be a significant event for all of
us, and I believe that Azerbaijan's chairmanship will be a catalyst
for addressing the climate and health crises," Rabie said.
He underscored the significance of prioritizing the development
of human capital.
"We endeavor to guarantee that individuals are the focal point
of climate policy and financing, as well as the negotiations and
discussions on climate issues. Consequently, we are deeply
appreciative of the government of Azerbaijan for these
contributions and eagerly anticipate the opportunity to collaborate
on the preparations for COP29 and other matters.
Building upon the accomplishments of COP28, COP29 will enable us
to concentrate on financing, emphasize investments, and identify
country-specific solutions. I am confident that in November in
Baku, we'll focus on exactly this," Rabie added.
To note, 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 emerged in March 1995 in Germany's Berlin,
with its secretariat in Bonn.
