BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 14. The fourth day of the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) is taking place today, Trend reports.
Representatives, leaders, and climate experts from around the world have gathered together owing to this major event.
The opening of COP29 took place on November 11 in Baku's Olympic Stadium and will continue until November 22. The event is the largest organized by Azerbaijan to date, and it is the first time the region is held in Azerbaijan.
The highest-level event, the World Leaders' Summit on Climate Action, was held during COP29 on November 12-13.
The main expectation from COP29 is to agree on a fair and ambitious New Collective Quantitative Goal (NCQG) on climate finance.
In addition to being a top priority that creates the conditions for action, creating climate finance will also help fulfill the 1.5°C pledge by bringing everyone together.
The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change is an agreement signed at the Rio Earth Summit in June 1992 to prevent dangerous human interference in the climate system. The acronym COP (Conference of Parties) stands for “Conference of Parties” and is the highest legislative body overseeing the implementation of the Framework Convention on Climate Change.
A total of 198 countries are parties to the Convention. Unless otherwise decided by the parties, COP is held annually. The first COP event was held in March 1995 in Berlin, and its secretariat is based in Bonn.
