BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 20. A "Climate Week"
will be held in New York at the end of September, which will be
organized by the UN Climate Group (entity) and the UN General
Assembly from September 22–29, UN Resident Coordinator in
Azerbaijan Vladanka Andreeva said, Trend reports.
"Climate change negotiations in New York in September will also
cover COP29 and how United Nations personnel can assist Azerbaijan
in hosting the important conference in November. It is my belief
that civil society activism is necessary with the participation of
state authorities from 198 states in the discussion of the battle
against climate change success of COP29 depends on raising more
awareness about this," Andreeva emphasized.
COP29 lead negotiator on adaptation, loss, and damage Elvin
Ashrafzadeh stated today at the forum on climate action in the
Congress Center of Baku that "inclusiveness (accessibility,
openness to all) is one of the important principles of Azerbaijan's
presidency at the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to
the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29)".
To note, the UN 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 in the climate system. The
abbreviation COP (Conference of Parties) stands for Conference of
Parties, which is the highest legislative body overseeing the
implementation of the Framework Convention on Climate Change. A
total of 198 countries are parties to the convention. Unless the
parties decide otherwise, COP is held annually. The first COP event
was held in March 1995 in Germany's Berlin, with its secretariat in
Bonn.
