President Mukhtar Babayev of COP29 recently addressed the 47th Regular Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). In his statement, he emphasized Azerbaijan’s commitment to prioritizing the issues and concerns of small island states severely impacted by climate change.
CARICOM represents 15 developing Caribbean nations that are particularly vulnerable to natural disasters due to their reliance on tourism-based economies. Azerbaijan, as the host of COP29 this November, aims to bring global attention to the challenges faced by these countries.
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, established in 1992, provides a platform for countries to address climate issues. COP, as the legislative body overseeing the Convention, convenes annually to facilitate discussions on climate action.
With COP29 set to take place in Baku, Azerbaijan anticipates hosting around 70-80,000 foreign guests. This gathering will play a crucial role in shaping global climate policy and fostering international cooperation to combat climate change.
