BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 31. The crucial
requirement is to bolster ambition and enable its execution, while
also seeking to enhance the pledges established by nations during
the conference of the Parties to the UN Framework convention on
Climate Change (COP29), the United Nations (UN) Resident
Coordinator in Azerbaijan Vladanka Andreeva said, Trend reports.
She made the remark during a dialog on the Sustainable
Development Goals on the theme“Future Echoes: Bridging Pathways
for Climate Change and Global Goals.”
She recalled that a few weeks ago, the world came together in
New York to tie the knot on a pact for the future, a global digital
agreement, and a declaration for the generations yet to come. These
three agreements will help the UN roll with the punches and come
out swinging, making it even better at tackling today's challenges
and serving up solutions for everyone.
"However, let me emphasize again that our main task is to build
on the UN Charter and the values and principles of international
law. Consistency is very important; also essential is that we must
strengthen ambition and allow for action.
The event will reveal whether the world will collectively move
in the right direction to keep the global average temperature rise
below 1.5 degrees Celsius. Azerbaijan will present its contribution
as host of the event before COP29. However, we know that
assumptions alone are not enough. We need to expand implementation
and increase climate finance.
Climate finance will be a key topic on the COP29 agenda,
including the new collective quantitative target, reducing the
impact of developing countries, and adaptation issues. These are
very important tools in terms of adaptation and mitigation,
especially for developing countries,” she added.
The 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN
Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) will be held this
November in Azerbaijan. The decision was made at the plenary
meeting of COP28 held in Dubai on December 11 last year.
The UN 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 in the climate system. The
abbreviation COP (Conference of Parties) means“Conference of
Parties” and 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
otherwise decided by the parties, COP is held annually. The first
COP event was held in March 1995 in Berlin, and its secretariat is
located in Bonn.
