(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 14. As part of
COP29 in Baku, Trend News Agency proudly presents COP for Hope, a
special project offering an unparalleled platform to hear from
world leaders and trailblazers in politics, economics, science, and
ecology, all united by a shared commitment to addressing today's
pressing climate challenges.
Our next interviewee was Daniel Morris, a representative of
the World bank Group.
In an exclusive interview with Trend , Morris highlighted that the ongoing
COP29 conference in Baku is of vital importance.
He noted the conference's role in uniting global leaders and
experts from diverse fields-politics, economics, science, and
ecology-to tackle climate change.
"The international community here has the opportunity to make
decisive financial decisions to address climate change, mitigate
its effects, support the countries most affected, and tackle other
pressing issues.
This conference also allows Azerbaijan to make another
significant contribution to global efforts. It allows the country
to once again demonstrate its active role in solving global
challenges," Morris added.
To note, the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to
the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29)
started in Baku on November 11. The United Nations 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.
A total of 198 countries are Parties to the Convention. Unless
the parties decide otherwise, the COP is held annually. The first
COP event took place in March 1995 in Berlin, and its secretariat
is located in Bonn.
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.
