UN Sec.-Gen. to visit Azerbaijan in connection with COP29

The holding of the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) in Azerbaijan is a significant event and is of great importance, spokesman for the Secretary-General (SG) of the United Nations (UN), Stefan Dujarric, said in an interview with the US bureau of Report.

“Climate change is the fight that the Secretary-General has really taken to heart, and I think no world leader has been more blunt and more direct in that. He will continue that fight, and he very much looks forward to the partnership with the Azerbaijan Presidency next COP29. Climate change is the overriding problem that we're all facing, and countries in the Caucasus and Central Asia have suffered and continue to suffer from climate change.”
