  UN reaffirms commitment to supporting Azerbaijan for successful COP29

The UN is fully committed to assisting Azerbaijan in the successful organization of the COP29 summit.

Vladanka Andreeva, the UN Resident Coordinator in Azerbaijan, made this statement during a media seminar on communication strategies for COP29, part of the “29 Climate Dialogues: The Road to COP29” series, AzVision.az reports. 

Andreeva highlighted the UN’s dedication to supporting both the host country and the COP29 chairmanship with all necessary organizational efforts.

With time running short, she stressed the importance of international collaboration to ensure the summit’s success. “We want COP29 to be a success,” she emphasized.

In November, Azerbaijan will host COP29, a decision finalized during the COP28 plenary meeting held in Dubai on December 11, 2023. Baku is set to become the global focal point, expecting to welcome approximately 70,000 to 80,000 international guests.

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was established at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in June 1992 to mitigate human interference with the climate system. The Conference of the Parties (COP), comprising 198 member countries, serves as the supreme body overseeing the implementation of the UNFCCC. Unless agreed otherwise, COP meetings are held annually, with the inaugural event occurring in March 1995 in Berlin and the secretariat based in Bonn.
