The COP29 climate summit has begun in Baku, Azerbaijan, uniting global leaders to accelerate climate action, reduce emissions, and push toward the Paris Agreement goals.
The United Nations COP29 climate summit has kicked off today in Azerbaijan, with nearly eighty heads of state and governments attending in Baku.
The host country will focus on advancing climate action, promoting active participation of non-party stakeholders, and increase ambitions and momentum for climate change action. The initiatives will aim to push forward efforts in reducing emissions and mitigating climate impacts globally.
The next few days will see presentations from world leaders with their climate priorities and steps to adhere to the 2015 Paris Agreement, signed by 195 countries, including Azerbaijan. As well as this historic accord, the annual event has brought others such as the Kyoto Protocol. This first set legal obligations for developed nations, while the Paris Agreement laid out ambitious goals to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
With countries now under pressure to meet these targets, COP29 is expected to generate a new wave of momentum to implement these commitments and safeguard the planet’s climate stability.
The event runs for two weeks until the 22nd of November.
