On July 22, the 2nd Shusha Global media Forum hosted a
significant presentation titled“Solidarity for a Green World -
COP29,” organized under the theme“Unmasking False Narratives:
Confronting Disinformation,” Azernews reports.
The presentation was led by Elnur Soltanov, Deputy Minister of
Energy of the Republic of Azerbaijan and Chief Executive Director
of COP29.
In his address, Soltanov provided an overview of the
preparations and strategic measures for the 29th session of the
Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate
Change (COP29), which will be held in Azerbaijan. He highlighted
national efforts to combat climate change, the progress in
restoring and reconstructing territories liberated from occupation,
and the importance of fostering sustainable development.
“We must take collective action regarding COP29,” stated
Soltanov.“We have a unified mission to achieve a green world. It
is essential that we act together-our success depends on our
collective effort.”
He emphasized that one of the central challenges of COP29 is to
develop innovative financing models for climate action.“We need to
establish a new financial framework,” he explained.“COP29
represents a significant opportunity, and we are committed to
creating a transparent environment where various stakeholders can
engage in meaningful dialogue. We have already undertaken 13
initiatives and aim to finalize and address technical aspects by
November 11. Achieving consensus in our negotiations is
crucial.”
Sultanov outlined 14 key agendas for COP29, underscoring the
importance of creating green corridors, developing storage
reservoirs, and addressing water shortages-a pressing issue due to
frequent droughts.“These topics are critical at national,
regional, and global levels,” he noted.“Climate change affects all
countries, and without cooperation between developed and developing
nations, a crisis is inevitable. We must honor our national
commitments, as each one holds significant value.”
He also addressed the challenge of reducing carbon emissions
without detrimental economic impacts, asserting that no single
country can tackle this issue in isolation.“All nations must
contribute to the process of reducing methane emissions,” he added.
“Increased funding for adaptation efforts is essential. For
example, there will be a ministerial meeting in China and another
in Shamakhi, Azerbaijan. These initiatives are designed to enhance
support for our climate goals.”
Soltanov's presentation emphasized the urgency of collaborative
climate action and the role of COP29 in advancing global
environmental sustainability.
