(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.
Today, we are honored to speak with Humana People
to People Foundation's Vice Chair Jesper Wohlert at COP29.
In an exclusive interview with Trend , he said that dialogue is necessary,
first of all, to solve problems, and in this regard, the COP29
conference taking place in Baku is of great importance.
Wohlert pointed out that without dialogue it is impossible to
find solutions to problems.
“In this regard, I think that useful discussions will be held at
the conference and ways to solve problems will be found. By hosting
this conference, Azerbaijan creates an opportunity for broad
discussions and makes an important contribution at the global
level,” he 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.
