BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 30. Green Transition Forum will be held within COP29 in Azerbaijan this November, Azerbaijan’s ambassador to Bulgaria Huseyn Huseynov wrote on X.
“For the first time the Green Transition Forum, largest forum on green energy issues in Central and Eastern Europe organized by Bulgaria, will be held within 29th Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC (COP29) in Baku,” he said.
The 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) will be held in Azerbaijan in November this year. The decision was made at the plenary meeting of COP28 held in Dubai on December 11 last year.
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 stands for Conference of Parties, which 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 determined by the parties, COP is held annually. The inaugural COP event took place in March 1995 in the bustling city of Berlin, Germany, with its secretariat nestled in Bonn.
