BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 18. Azerbaijan has
swiftly established the necessary conditions to host the 29th
session of the conference of the Parties to the UN Framework
Convention on Climate Change (COP29), said Mukhtar Babayev,
Azerbaijan's Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources and COP29
President, Trend
reports.
"Last December, with the support of all countries, the decision
was made to hold COP29 in Azerbaijan. Typically, such decisions are
made two years in advance, as a country needs at least two years to
organize an event of this scale. In our case, several countries
were candidates to host COP29 and maintained their bids until the
last day of COP28. Ultimately, the decision was made in favor of
Azerbaijan," Babayev said in an interview with local media.
He highlighted that hosting such a significant and responsible
forum has become a commitment that Azerbaijan has embraced. For
years, Azerbaijan has drawn international attention with its
innovative "green" energy and alternative energy projects, which
are a priority for the country. The head of state has emphasized
initiatives such as "green" energy zones and corridors, positioning
Azerbaijan as a leader in this field.
"Thanks to these projects, the world has taken notice of
Azerbaijan. By showcasing its leadership, Azerbaijan invited all
nations to participate in climate discussions this November and has
created the necessary conditions for the event," Babayev added.
The 29th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework
Convention on Climate Change will take place in Baku from November
11 to 22.
