BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 12. Preparations
for COP29 have been discussed during a meeting between the
President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, and the Minister of Ecology
and Natural Resources of Azerbaijan, Mukhtar Babayev, Trend
reports via the president's social media publication.
"We paid special attention to the preparation for the COP29
conference, which will take place in Baku in November. I emphasized
Serbia's commitment to sustainable development and environmental
initiatives that will contribute to the global fight against
climate change.
We agreed that financing the energy transition, which is a key
focus of COP29, is especially important for countries traditionally
reliant on fossil fuels.
Additionally, we expressed our readiness for close cooperation
and knowledge exchange to jointly contribute to achieving global
climate goals and sustainable development," the publication
noted.
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 event took place in March 1995 in Germany's
Berlin with its secretariat in Bonn.
