COP29 and Azerbaijan's green energy transition in spotlight of BBC News Channel

COP29 and Azerbaijan's green energy transition in spotlight of BBC News Channel

Baku, November 24, AZERTAC

Elin Suleymanov, Azerbaijani Ambassador to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, provided an insight into Azerbaijan's efforts against climate change, green energy transition, international cooperation, as well as the country's investments in alternative energy sources in tackling climate change, as he was a guest of Maryam Moshiri, the host of The World Today program on BBC News Channel.

"Azerbaijan is a regional leader in green energy transition. We are investing heavily in wind, solar, and other renewable energy sectors. Hosting of COP29 indicates Azerbaijan's leadership in global efforts, opening the doors to a greener world tomorrow," the diplomat said.

In his interview, the ambassador underscored that Azerbaijan attaches importance to inclusive discussions on climate change. He noted that discussions should be held with the participation of all parties, including representatives of the resources that cause climate change: "If we want change, everyone should be around the table. 28 COPs have passed, however, we are still in negotiations. One of the main reasons for this is that there are not enough inclusive discussions. Azerbaijan is taking a different approach this time," the ambassador noted.

Ambassador Suleymanov also responded to several accusations against Azerbaijan. He stressed the importance of focusing on climate change, noting that issues unrelated to the discussions are distracting attention at the COP conferences.

The diplomat described COP29 as a key platform to present Azerbaijan's efforts on global climate change. "Azerbaijan's goal is not only to conduct discussions, but also to achieve concrete solutions: "Our goal is to reach a sustainable agreement on a global scale. Azerbaijan demonstrates its commitment in this area. If an agreement is reached, it will be a considerable achievement not only for Azerbaijan but also for the entire world. Otherwise, it will be a collective failure. If the leaders of some Western countries were really concerned about the fight against the climate crisis, they would have personally participated in COP29, like British Prime Minister Keir Starmer," the ambassador emphasized.
