COP29 to stand out with numerous adopted statements

About 60 statements and decisions are expected to be adopted in Baku within the framework of the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29), Deputy Foreign Minister of the Republic of Azerbaijan and chief negotiator of COP29 Yalchin Rafiyev said, Olaylar reports.

He made the announcement during the dialog on Sustainable Development Goals on the theme "Future Echoes: Bridging Pathways for Climate Change and Global Goals.chr("39")chr("39")

Rafiyev pointed out that we are just a stonechr("39")s throw away from the landmark COP29 event set to take place in the heart of Azerbaijanchr("39")s capital.

"We have a very ambitious agenda in front of us. We had little time. Wechr("39")ve built capacity thanks to political support for our commitments. We have managed to ensure the establishment of a successful process among UN members.

We will witness that very soon. Of course, there is a connection between the Sustainable Development Goals and climate action. It is not just about Goal 13. Every goal, in one sense or another, is climate-related.

We also tried to include this issue in COP29 as part of the negotiations. We have set ourselves a fair and collective goal. At the same time, we are anticipating approximately 60 statements and decisions to be made in Baku. However, in its capacity as the host, the presidency has its own initiatives that not only complement the negotiating agenda but also contribute to the global action on climate change. Some of these initiatives are also related to the Sustainable Development Goals and their implementation," Rafiyev added.
