BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 3. Representatives of
more than 70 countries will visit Azerbaijan to participate in
PreCop, the COP29 President-designate, Minister of Ecology and
Natural Resources Mukhtar Babayev said during a roundtable
discussion on“Creating the Highway for Private Finance” at ADA
University, Trend reports.
“To participate in PreCop next week, representatives of more
than 70 countries will visit Azerbaijan at the level of ministers,
deputy ministers, and heads of delegations. We will also discuss
the new financial target, Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, and in
this regard we have a great interest in attracting the private
sector, which is one of the largest sources of financing, to the
climate agenda,” he noted.
To decode, each conference of the Parties to the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change is preceded by a preparation
meeting known as the PreCop, which takes place around a month in
advance. The goal of this meeting is to give a selected group of
countries an informal setting to debate and exchange opinions on
some major political aspects of the negotiations in order to offer,
to the extent possible, political advice for future
negotiations.
To note, the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to
the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) will be held
in Azerbaijan in November this year. The decision was made at the
plenary meeting of COP28 held in Dubai on December 11 last year.
Within two weeks, Baku, having become the center of the world, will
host about 70,000-80,000 foreign guests.
The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change is an agreement
signed at the Rio Earth Summit in June 1992 to prevent dangerous
human interference in the climate system. The acronym COP
(Conference of Parties) stands for Conference of Parties, which is
the highest legislative body overseeing the implementation of the
Framework Convention on Climate Change.
A total of 198 countries are parties to the convention. Unless
the parties have decided otherwise, COP is held annually. The first
COP event was held in March 1995 in Berlin, and its secretariat is
located in Bonn.
