Secretary-General António Guterres has emphasized the imperative
for global collaboration to tackle climate change and realize
equitable climate outcomes, Trend reports.
In a statement on his X account, Guterres wrote:
“International cooperation centered on the Paris Agreement is
indispensable to climate action. Amidst geopolitical divisions, the
world needs countries to come together at COP29 to deliver climate
justice and move us closer to securing a decent world for all
humanity.”
To note, 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 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) 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

COP event was held in March 1995 in Berlin, and its secretariat is
located in Bonn.
