COP29: GLOBAL ACTION TIME

For two weeks in November 2024, the capital of the Republic of Azerbaijan will host the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29). Representatives of almost 200 countries will discuss existential challenges that concern the fate of our planet. This is a great honour for Azerbaijan, one that brings tremendous responsibility given that the Earth is facing a global environmental crisis that threatens the very survival of humankind as a species.

Azerbaijan is certainly better known now to the West than when I landed here 24 years ago, and its exploits in sports: the first European games, Qarabag’s footballing exploits across Europe, and Formula 1 have all helped to raise the profile. Winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 2011 and hosting it in the following year also helped. And finally having to fight to reclaim its lands in Karabakh in 2020 and 2023 made people even more aware of the country.

Along with the courage and heroism of the Azerbaijani army, the diplomatic activity of President Ilham Aliyev played an important role in this victory.
