A large high-level UK government delegation, as well as many UK business and civil society representatives are due in Baku for COP29, Nick Baker, Head of the COP29 Unit at British Embassy Baku, said in an interview with Report.
Baker noted that since last December, when Azerbaijan was named as host of COP29, there has been intensive engagement between the two countries.
"Azerbaijan’s COP President designate has had an audience of his Majesty The King, and met members of our new government. Members of the UK’s COP26 team have visited Baku, including former COP President, Alok Sharma," he said.
"London Climate Action Week is one of the main climate events of the calendar, and the Azerbaijani COP29 team used it to present the priorities for November’s summit to a global climate audience. One of the people involved in organising London Climate Action Week is helping to organise the inaugural Baku Climate Action Week, which takes place next week," he said.
