“COP29 starts in 10 days in Baku! The largest global conference, focused on climate action as the first priority for our planet,” the diplomat noted.

The 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) is set to take place in Azerbaijan from November 11 to 22.  Over the course of two weeks, Baku is expected to transform into a global hub for climate discussions, accommodating approximately 70,000 to 80,000 international attendees.

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was established at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in June 1992, aiming to prevent harmful human interference with the climate system.

The term COP, which stands for "Conference of the Parties," denotes the supreme decision-making body tasked with overseeing the implementation of the UNFCCC.

The Convention currently comprises 198 member states, and the COP convenes annually unless otherwise determined by the parties involved. The inaugural COP was held in Berlin in March 1995, with its secretariat located in Bonn.
