Azerbaijan's Shamakhi hosts meeting on COP29 at level of negotiators
27 July 2024 [15:48] - TODAY.AZ
Heads of Delegation, including chairs of all negotiating groups, are gathered for a retreat this weekend in Shamakhi, Azerbaijan, to build momentum for progress together, bAzernews reports, citing the post shared by COP29 on its official "X" account.
"This convening reflects the COP29 Presidency’s commitment to intensifying engagement and accelerating action," the post reads.
Recall that Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, will host the 2024 UN Climate Change Conference (UNFCCC COP 29) for the first time in the region from November 11–22, 2024. The decision was made at the plenary session of COP28 on December 11. Azerbaijan successfully participated in the COP28 held in Abu Dhabi last year.
Azerbaijan will take the opportunity to bring heads of state and governments, civil society organisations, business, and international institutions together in the South Caucasus to discuss climate change, measures to accelerate the implementation of the Paris Agreement, and focus on long-term climate strategies and goals.
It is worth noting that Azerbaijan confirmed its commitment to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases by 35 percent by 2030 and increase this target by 40 percent by 2050. Fulfilling the commitments under the Paris Agreement adopted in 2015 and actively working in this regard are priority issues for the government of Azerbaijan.
The Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has been held annually since 1995. The event aims to assess the progress made in combating climate change around the world.
