BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 10. CAREC (Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation) member nations will make a joint call for climate action at COP29, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) told Trend following the experts' 3rd meeting of the Climate Change Working Group held in Baku.
According to the bank, COP29 events will present the climate solutions of the CAREC Program in November.
"During the November climate summit in Baku, CAREC member countries will issue a joint call for enhanced efforts in combating climate change," the bank pointed out.
The primary goal of the CAREC Program, organized by ADB in 1997, is to promote economic cooperation among the countries of Central Asia, the South Caucasus, and South Asia.
This November, Azerbaijan will host COP29. This decision was made at the COP28 plenary meeting held in Dubai on December 11 last year. Baku will become the center of the world and will receive about 70–80,000 foreign guests.
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.
