“We should definitely take collective action on COP29. We have the same atmosphere; we must be in solidarity for the sake of a green world. If we do not act collectively, we will fail,” Soltanov said.

He noted that one of the main issues within COP29 is the issue of funding.

“We have to define a new funding model. We believe that COP29 will be a great opportunity for this, and we will make every effort. Azerbaijan will establish a transparent environment for the different parties to come together and have discussions. We should finalize the issues and solve certain technical issues by November 11. There should be consensus in the negotiations.

We have included 14 agenda items in COP29. Azerbaijan considers important the issues of the creation of “green” corridors, the creation of storage facilities, and the issue of water shortage. Nowadays, there is a shortage of water, and droughts occur. In this regard, the water issue is very important, and therefore we should also deal with this issue. We have chosen topics that are relevant both at the national, regional, and global levels.

If there is no cooperation between developed countries, there will be a crisis in developing countries. Climate change affects all countries. We must be committed to national commitments because each of them is important,” Soltanov added.
