BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 11. The global community is not investing enough in climate initiatives, Marina Ovtsynova, President of ALLATRA International Public Movement from the United States, told Trend.
"We are here today at the COP29 conference as part of the Egyptian Fund delegation, and we are honored to be involved in such an important event for the world. We sincerely hope that this conference will spark interest and draw attention to the key issues of climate change. Different perspectives on climate issues will be presented, and I believe this event will help highlight the enormous challenges humanity is facing. We need to act as quickly as possible and unite the full scientific potential to combat climate change. Otherwise, we will face serious problems," she said.
Ovtsynova emphasized that climate change is a critical issue that cannot be ignored.
"We are already witnessing stronger hurricanes in the U.S., and climate disasters are escalating around the world at an alarming rate. This is a dire reality that humanity must acknowledge. Clearly, we are not investing enough in climate initiatives—this is not just an issue for the U.S. but for the entire global community. We are failing to grasp how little time we have left before we reach the point of no return. Once humanity fully realizes the magnitude of the threat, we will begin to allocate more resources to tackling climate challenges. We must unite the full potential of science, bring in the best experts, and explore diverse solutions, such as ocean cleanup," she added.
