(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 10. CAREC (Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation) member nations will make a joint call for climate action at COP29, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) told Trend following the experts' 3rd meeting of the Climate Change Working Group held in Baku.

According to the bank, COP29 events will present the climate solutions of the CAREC Program in November.

"During the November climate summit in Baku, CAREC member countries will issue a joint call for enhanced efforts in combating climate change," the bank pointed out.

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.
