BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 25. COP29 will offer a
crucial platform for introducing advanced environmental solutions,
Dutch Special Envoy for Water Meike van Ginneken said during a
training session at ADA University today, Trend

She stressed the importance of international cooperation for
sustainable water resource management.
"COP29 will become an important platform for discussing and
implementing advanced environmental solutions. Additionally, it is
necessary to note Azerbaijan's significant contribution to solving
water issues and emphasize the importance of continuing joint
efforts in this area," she noted.
According to her, the Netherlands is ready to work with the
government of Azerbaijan for the success of the climate
conference.
"We must pay attention to both mitigating the consequences of
climate change and adapting to them. Water plays a key role in this
process. We can make water a primary tool for climate change
adaptation and will cooperate with the government of Azerbaijan and
co-chairs to ensure the successful holding of the 29th session of
the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on
Climate Change (COP29) in Baku," she added.
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.

agreement signed at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in June 1992
to prevent dangerous human interference with the climate system.
The COP-the Conference of the Parties-is the highest legislative

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
