(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 3. Azerbaijan plans to discuss the setup of the nationwide university Network on climate change in more detail at COP29, COP29 Presidency Youth Climate Champion Leyla Hasanova said, Trend reports.

She made the remark during an event "Role of higher education in climate change: Towards an Azerbaijan University Network on Climate Change (AUNCC)" at the ADA University today.

"The Azerbaijani University Network on Climate Change will emphasize the importance of higher education in skill development and the improvement of the educational system. The network will enhance collaboration across universities and educational institutions and facilitate capacity building through augmented interaction between established and emerging programs.

This will enable better analysis of the specific challenges Azerbaijan faces and foster the search for innovative solutions necessary to overcome them by enhancing coherence and collaboration among institutions," Hasanova noted.

She mentioned that COP29 will be a golden opportunity to rub elbows with key stakeholders and lay the groundwork for the successful rollout of the network.

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.
