At the Antalya Diplomacy Forum, COP29 President and Azerbaijan’s Special Representative for Climate Issues, Mukhtar Babayev, reaffirmed Azerbaijan’s leadership in advancing global climate action. He highlighted the achievements of COP29 in Baku, where Azerbaijan successfully mobilised international consensus and launched key initiatives, including the Baku Finance Goal—targeting $300 billion annually in climate finance for developing countries by 2035.
Babayev underscored the importance of translating agreements into action. He emphasised the need for donor nations to outline clear plans for fulfilling their share of the $300 billion commitment, crucial for supporting vulnerable communities and preserving the multilateral climate framework.
In a forward-looking statement, Babayev announced that the COP29 Presidency is working closely with the COP30 Bureau to draft the Baku to Belem Roadmap, a strategic vision to scale annual climate finance to $1.3 trillion by 2035. The initiative includes consultations with countries and financial stakeholders to generate practical, transparent solutions.
He also welcomed Türkiye’s ambition to host COP31 and praised global momentum for climate action, calling on nations to prepare robust, transparent emissions reduction plans in 2025.
Azerbaijan, he affirmed, remains committed to carrying forward the declarations and progress made at COP29.
