BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 20. Today a very
prestigious and important COP29 event is being held in Azerbaijan,
Turkish transport and Infrastructure Minister Abdulkadir Uraloğlu
said during a press conference, Trend reports.
He noted that discussions on the work done in the field of
infrastructure and transportation are being held at COP29.
“I express my gratitude to Azerbaijan for organizing COP29 at a
high level.
We are talking about climate change at COP29. We also share the
work done in Türkiye and the world in the field of infrastructure
and transportation. In order to reduce emissions, activities are
being carried out in Türkiye.
I am glad to be in Azerbaijan for COP29. Azerbaijan is holding
such a big event after the liberation of Karabakh from occupation.
The organization of the event is at a high level. Thank you for
such an organization,” the minister said.
To note, the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to
the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29), which will
last until November 22, was 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.
The main expectation from COP29 is to agree on a fair and
ambitious New Collective Quantitative Goal (NCQG) on climate
finance.
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) means“Conference of Parties” and is the
highest legislative body overseeing the implementation of the
Framework Convention on Climate Change.
A whopping 198 countries have thrown their hats in the ring as
parties to the Convention. Unless the parties decide to change the
game plan, COP takes place once a year. The inaugural COP event
took place in March 1995 in the bustling city of Berlin, Germany,
with its secretariat nestled in Bonn.
