Wasim Mir: Azerbaijan is in very good place to deliver COP29 operations successfully

Azerbaijan is in a very good place to deliver COP29 operations in a successful way, Wasim Mir, Director of the Conference Affairs at the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), said in an interview with Report.

Wasim Mir said that they are working closely with the COP29 Azerbaijan Operating Company to prepare the Baku Olympic Stadium for COP29:

“In January, I led a fact-finding mission where we looked at different locations for hosting COP and concluded that the best location would be the Baku Stadium. Since then, we've been working very closely with the COP29 operating company to get the stadium ready for delivering COP in November. I'm here today to assess progress, and I believe that Azerbaijan is in a very good place to deliver COP29 operations in a successful way. Work has already started and considerable progress has been made in preparing the venue. We have plans in place for developing transport, catering, security, accommodation, and all aspects that need to be put in place for COP.”
