New Delhi || 10-11-2024 The 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP29 will be held in Baku, Azerbaijan, from 11 to 22 November 2024.
The Conference will serve as a global platform for shaping international climate policy and will be the focal point for discussions on combating climate change. Thousands of representatives from various countries are coming to Baku for these critical discussions.
The conference will also be a key moment for countries to present their updated national climate action plans under the Paris agreement, which are due by early 2025. If done right, these plans would limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and double as investment plans advancing the Sustainable Development Goals.
COP29 has officially released its comprehensive programming for both the Blue and Green Zones. The detailed programming being updated according to the conference agenda is now available on the official COP29 website, offering a glimpse into the diverse range of events, discussions, and exhibitions that will shape the global climate agenda. For those attending COP in person, the programming will be available at information desks across both the Blue and Green Zone.
On 9 Nov 2024 the COP29 Operating Company is announced on the completion of the official handover of the Blue Zone at Baku Stadium to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, UNFCCC.
The programming covers both the Blue Zone, where the formal negotiations and decision-making take place, and the Green Zone – a space open to the public that features a variety of exhibitions, workshops, and cultural events related to climate change.
The programming for both zones include a diverse range of topics, such as climate finance, adaptation, mitigation, technology, and climate finance.
Whilst the scheduling for the formal negotiations in the Blue Zone is managed by the UNFCCC, there are several country pavilions in this zone, with their own events and programming for Blue Zone accredited participants to engage in.
The Azerbaijan Pavilion will feature multiple sessions spanning several of the key thematic days including finance, energy, science, human capital, and transport from the 13th-22nd November. These will be led by a range of key stakeholders from both the public and private sectors.
Visitors in the Green Zone will be able to experience and participate in panels, workshops, keynote speeches, and fireside chats, also aligning with each thematic day.
The COP29 official partners will use the opportunity in the Green Zone to inspire climate conversation and facilitate action amongst stakeholders from both the public and private sectors.
More than 32000 Participants have registered for this conference for meaningful discussions and for an outcome of global good.
