Kenya representative: Expectations from COP29 in Azerbaijan are very high

Expectations from the COP in Azerbaijan are very high, it is time to move from ideas and plans to real actions, Kenyan representative Joseph Njuguna said, according to Report’s correspondent from Dubai.

“I do support Azerbaijan in hosting COP29. We will need to move from ideas to real actions. That’s what we want to see. We need concrete pledges turning into actions in financial sphere, especially for developing countries. All we have now are pledges, but this is not enough. We need actual, concessional financing to fight against climate change. We are really suffering, we have a big gap between what is expected and what has been provided. I hope I will have an opportunity to attend COP29 in Azerbaijan and make presentation there,” he noted.

On December 11, Azerbaijan was officially announced as the host of the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change - COP29.
