Baku Climate Action Week will take place from September 30 to October 4, laying the groundwork for the climate agenda ahead of COP29, set for November in Baku, Azernews reports.

This event will gather key stakeholders from politics, finance, trade, science, art, culture, civil society, and the media.

The COP29 session of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change was confirmed at the COP28 plenary in Dubai last December. Baku expects to host around 70,000 to 80,000 international guests during this pivotal period.

The UN Framework Convention, established at the 1992 Earth Summit, aims to mitigate dangerous human impacts on the climate. The annual COP meetings, initiated in 1995, serve as the highest legislative forum for implementing climate agreements, involving 198 participating countries.
