Kazakhstan's presidential advisor: Azerbaijan aims to create unified platform for climate transparency

Azerbaijan, as part of its chairmanship of COP29, has raised the discussion of climate action transparency to a high level, Presidential Advisor - Special Representative of the President of Kazakhstan for International Environmental Cooperation Zulfiya Suleymanova said at a side event during the 2024 UN Climate Change Pre-Conference of the Parties (Pre-COP29) on Thursday in Baku.

According to her, "Azerbaijan has taken the bold step of truly trying to create a unified platform" that helps better coordinate its actions with existing platforms in the field of climate transparency.

"I hope that this transparency process will really help to intensify actions [in the field of climate change] and continue to build confidence in the process and, of course, trust between all stakeholders," she said.

She also expressed hope that many will submit their biennial transparency report before the COP29 climate conference, which will be held in November in Baku.
