Azerbaijan is committed to delivering a transparent, impartial, inclusive, and party-driven COP29 that leaves no one behind and aims to advance across all climate pillars, Azerbaijan’s Ambassador to the UK Elin Suleymanov wrote in his article for Chamber UK Journal, Report informs.
“Our vision is based on two parallel pillars to enhance ambition and enable action by agreeing on a fair and ambitious New Collective Quantified Goal on climate finance as our top priority. Encouraging all Parties to come up with 1.5C-aligned Nationally Determined Contributions will also be among key priorities.
We will use our unique multilateral diplomacy experience to act as a bridge between the developed and developing nations, with the aim of achieving a fair and ambitious outcome at COP29,” he wrote.
“Closely aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, COP29 Presidency’s 14 Action Agenda items pay particular attention to the most vulnerable countries and groups. As Azerbaijan’s long-time partner and the leading actor in climate action, the UK has been explicit, from the very first days, about its willingness to support Azerbaijan to ensure COP29’s success. Embedding climate action into its national development plans, Azerbaijan leads by example by investing heavily in green transition and submitting a 1.5C-aligned NDC.”
