BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 1. A total of 16 transportation hubs have been established so far in connection with the COP29 event, Head of the COP29 Transport Department Orkhan Mahmudlu said during a briefing on the transportation plan to be implemented during the conference, Trend reports.

He noted that the transportation hubs are located near hotels and residential complexes.

"To ensure comfortable movement for participants, a fleet of 350 buses will be put into operation. These buses will connect Heydar Aliyev International Airport with the main transportation hubs in Baku and its surroundings," Mahmudlu added.

In a mere 10 days, Azerbaijan will host COP29, the decision about which was made at the COP28 plenary meeting held in Dubai on December 11 last year.

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is an agreement signed at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in June 1992 to prevent dangerous human interference with the climate system. COP—the Conference of the Parties—is the highest legislative body overseeing the implementation of the Framework Convention on Climate Change. There are 198 countries that are parties to the Convention. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the COP is held annually. The first COP event took place in March 1995 in Germany's Berlin with its secretariat in Bonn.
