(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 14. COP29 in Baku aims to change the future of humanity and unite us for a green world, the representative of the Global Institute for Water Environment and health Fathi Khaled from Yemen told Trend.

“I am originally from Yemen, but I came from Geneva, Switzerland, where I live and work. This is the first time I am coming to Azerbaijan, it is really an amazing, beautiful country with nice people. I fell in love with your country at first sight.

Everything here is organized at a high level; we are pleased to be in Azerbaijan and to take part in the world conference. People from all over the world have come here to change the future of mankind to a green world. We need to make a lot of efforts to fight climate change, and we hope that through this, taking into account the scale of the event, we will definitely make the best for the generation.

In my opinion, it is very important to plant trees everywhere and to take care of the nature that feeds us like a mother. It is our planet. Each one of us is a son or daughter of this family. It is our responsibility to take care of Mother Earth," Fathi Khaled noted.

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.
