"Guided by the slogan "In solidarity for a Green World" the COP29 Presidency has been engaging with all stakeholders in a constructive spirit and transparent manner, conducting numerous visits and listening to all to take their concerns into account.

We have prioritized addressing the challenges posed by climate change to the Small Island Developing States. Azerbaijan considers helping these states as a moral duty and supports them both financially and politically, including through the Commonwealth.
