Baku, September 6, AZERTAC
“Azerbaijan’s hosting of the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP29) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in Azerbaijan is commendable and a source of pride for us. Holding such a prestigious event is very important in promoting Azerbaijan worldwide. The capital city of Baku will welcome approximately 70-80 thousand foreign guests, who will have a great chance to explore Azerbaijan, its history, culture, traditions, and witness the country’s achievements,” Head of Ecogeography Department of the Institute of Geography, Associate Professor Anvar Aliyev told AZERTAC.
According to him, COP29 will play a crucial role in conveying the realities about Azerbaijan to the world, as well as addressing certain issues.
Stressing the importance of the Baku Global Climate Transparency Platform (BTP), the scientist noted that it is no coincidence that Simon Stiell, Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, welcomed the launch of the Baku Global Platform.
"We want COP29 to be successful and produce effective results. As an Azerbaijani, we are extremely proud that this prestigious event will take place in our country," Anvar Aliyev emphasized.
