President-Designate COP29

In such an important year for Azerbaijan, Baku Climate Action Week is another important milestone in the deepening national conversation to accelerate action on climate change in our country. Azerbaijan hopes to lead by example, and COP29’s vision of enhancing ambition and enabling action needs everyone, from both developed and developing countries, to play their part.

Nigar Arpadarai

Climate Change High-Level Champion for COP29

Azerbaijan is honoured to host COP29 in November and the Presidency is sparing no effort to make it a success, so we can enhance ambition and enable action on climate change. We know that cities and the private sector have a key role to play in driving climate solutions and supporting international diplomacy. This is why I, as COP29 High-Level Champion, and the COP29 Presidency are proud to host the inaugural Baku Climate Action Week.

Eldar Azizov

In an exciting year for our city, and Azerbaijan, we are proud to have the responsibility of managing such a large scale and high-profile event. Preparations are well underway for November, and we are on track to host what will no doubt be a world-class series of events at COP29.
