The minister noted that mutual steps were taken during the decision to hold COP29 in Azerbaijan.
“Armenia lifted its veto. Azerbaijan, on the other hand, agreed to Armenia's election as a member of the East European Bureau. To ensure the inclusiveness of COP, the Azerbaijani side extended an invitation to Armenia as well as other member parties.
Meanwhile, despite the fact that the Armenian side registered several of its representatives, we did not observe their participation in the conference. We believe this is a neglected opportunity," Bayramov noted.
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 on November 11 at the Baku Olympic Stadium.
The event is the largest organized by Azerbaijan to date and is the first time the region has hosted the event in Azerbaijan. Within COP29, the highest-level event - the summit of world leaders on climate action - will be held on November 12–13.
The main expectation from COP29 is to agree on a fair and ambitious New Collective Quantitative Goal (NCQG) on climate finance. The COP29 chairmanship has launched 14 initiatives that include linkages between climate action and the Sustainable Development Goals, including green energy corridors, green energy storage, harmony for climate resilience, clean hydrogen, methane reduction in organic waste, action on green digital technologies, and other topics.
