BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 13. I have
participated in COP events in Egypt, the UAE, and Baku. I must
commend the excellent organization and infrastructure set up at the
Olympic Stadium, with well-equipped meeting rooms and pavilions
representing various countries, Burkina Faso delegate Aboubacar
Traore told Trend .
"All of us are here for one goal – we have one planet, one
Earth. We must be very cautious with nature and protect the
environment. Climate change is real, and it's causing tremendous
damage across the world, which we must address everywhere. In my
country, the main environmental issue is land degradation. We face
long dry seasons followed by intense rains and floods, which
destroy wildlife and agricultural production, creating serious
health problems. For us, COP29 has been a remarkable event where
people from all over the world have come together to save the
Earth," Traore said.
To note, the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to
the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29), which will
run until November 22, opened on November 11 at the Baku Olympic
Stadium.
The event is the largest organized by Azerbaijan to date and is
the first time the region has hosted the event in Azerbaijan.
Within COP29, the highest-level event - the summit of world leaders
on climate action - will be held on November 12–13.
The main expectation from COP29 is to agree on a fair and
ambitious New Collective Quantitative Goal (NCQG) on climate
finance. The COP29 chairmanship has launched 14 initiatives that
include linkages between climate action and the Sustainable
Development Goals, including green energy corridors, green energy
storage, harmony for climate resilience, clean hydrogen, methane
reduction in organic waste, action on green digital technologies,
and other topics.
