UN official reveals side events to be held within COP29

A number of side events are scheduled to be held within the framework of COP29, Wasim Mir, Director of the Conference Affairs at the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), said in an interview with Report.

“Within COP 29, we have a number of different components. So, we have the main core part is negotiations that form part of the UNFCCC process. But in addition to that, we have a whole range of other events. We have a range of side events held by primarily civil society, parts of the UN and others. We have events held by the COP29 Presidency as well. We also have events that are part of the Marrakesh process for climate action,” Wasim Mir said.

“On top of that, there are also pavilions within the COP29 space that are led by civil society and some by member states as well, within which we have a whole variety of events to pull together. There are many different events in addition to the core negotiations that help make COP a unique event, but also the most important event globally that we hold as part of our efforts to combat climate change,” the UN official added.
