Azerbaijan to host major forum on green energy in Central and Eastern Europe Ambassador says

Azerbaijan's ambassador to Bulgaria Huseyn Huseynov has written that Baku will host the biggest forum on "green" energy in Central and Eastern Europe.

The diplomat noted that the event will take place during the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29), Caliber.Az reports. 

“For the first time the GreenTransition Forum, largest forum on Green Energy issues in Central and Eastern Europe organised by Bulgarian website Dir.bg will be held within the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) in Baku,” Huseynov wrote on X.

The 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) will be held in Azerbaijan this November. This decision was made at the COP28 plenary session in Dubai on December 11, 2023. During two weeks, Baku will become a global hub, welcoming around 70,000 to 80,000 international guests.

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is an agreement signed at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in June 1992, aimed at preventing dangerous human interference with the climate system. 

The abbreviation COP means "Conference of the Parties" and refers to the highest decision-making body responsible for overseeing the implementation of the UNFCCC. The Convention has 198 member states. Unless otherwise decided by the parties, the COP is held annually. The first COP event was held in Berlin in March 1995, and its secretariat is based in Bonn.
