BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 18. A system of fines
and rules for the use of bus lanes will also apply to the lanes
designated for COP29, Department Director at the COP29, Azerbaijan
Operational Company Orkhan Mahmudlu said during a media tour of the
Baku Olympic Stadium, Trend reports.
Mahmudlu pointed out that the lanes earmarked for COP29 are, in
essence, bus lanes.
"The lanes for COP29 on the roads are bus lanes. In fact, their
creation was included in the urban mobility plan, and the timeline
has been accelerated in light of the upcoming event," he
stated.
Starting next month, these lanes will be utilized by a
designated group of taxis, buses, and emergency service vehicles
specifically for COP29. Certain permits are expected to be required
for access to these lanes, he added.
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
inaugural COP event took place in March 1995 in the bustling city
of Berlin, Germany, with its secretariat setting up shop in
Bonn.
