BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 14. As the sun sets
on the fourth day of the 29th session of the conference of the
Parties to the UN Framework convention on Climate Change (COP29) -
the gathering of the global climate stewards-the air is thick with
the whispers of wisdom and the echoes of urgent dialogues, drawing
together the architects of our planet's future.
As Trend
reports, this grand affair gathered the cream of the crop, bringing
together leaders and climate experts from every corner of the
globe, and the lens of Trend has captured some fleeting moments of today's
event, freezing time in a delicate dance of light and shadow.
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 at the Baku Olympic Stadium on November
11. 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 - was 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.
In addition to being a top priority that creates the conditions
for action, creating climate finance will also help fulfill the
1.5°C pledge by bringing everyone together.
The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change is an agreement
signed at the Rio Earth Summit in June 1992 to prevent dangerous
human interference in the climate system. The acronym COP
(Conference of Parties) stands for“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.
