“Climate change threatens to undermine decades of progress in global development, with devastating consequences for so many, while climate action promises a better future for all.

Growing geopolitical tensions and uncertainty in the international environment must not distract us from the imperative to collaborate and address climate change as the greatest transnational challenge of the century.

We will spare no efforts to act as a bridge between the developed and developing nations and steer the process to a consensus at COP29,” the letter reads.

Furthermore, the letter notes that throughout the COP29 Presidency’s consultations, a vision based on two parallel pillars to enhance ambition and enable action with climate finance as the top priority was presented.

“These pillars are mutually reinforcing, and progress on one sends a strong signal in support of the other. Successful delivery of key mandates and action will be essential to building trust, solidarity, and momentum,” the letter said.

This November, Azerbaijan will host COP29. This decision was made at the COP28 plenary meeting held in Dubai on December 11 last year. Baku will become the center of the world and will receive about 70-80,000 foreign guests.

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is an agreement signed at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in June 1992 to prevent dangerous human interference with the climate system. COP - the Conference of the Parties - is the highest legislative body overseeing the implementation of the Framework Convention on Climate Change. There are 198 countries that are parties to the Convention. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the COP is held annually. The first COP event took place in March 1995 in Berlin, and its secretariat is located in Bonn.
