BAKU: Azerbaijan to spare no effort to foster collaborative spirit to tackle climate challenges at COP29, said Minister of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan Jeyhun Bayramov as he addressed the 16th Plenary Meeting of the UN General Assembly, Trend reports.
“Growing divisions in international relations should not distract us from the imperative to address climate change, the greatest transnational challenge of the century. What has been done so far remains insufficient to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 Celsius. For the sake of the future, the time has come for urgent, concerted, and sustained efforts to give effect to our commitments to a global vision for sustainable development. In November 2024, Azerbaijan will host the 29th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework on National Climate Change. Guided by the call in solidarity for a green world, Azerbaijan will spare no effort to bridge developed and developing countries and foster a collaborative spirit to tackle climate challenges as a common commit
ment and moral duty,” he said.
The minister noted that, as the incoming presidency, Azerbaijan reaffirms its commitment to delivering COP29 in a transparent, impartial, inclusive, and party-driven manner.
“The confidence placed in us by the international community to host and preside over COP29 this year is a testament and recognition to Azerbaijan’s readiness to lead the climate agenda and contribute to global climate action,” Bayramov added.
