cop29

The 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference or Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC, more commonly known as COP29, is the 29th United Nations Climate Change conference. COP29 is being held in Baku, Azerbaijan, from 11 to 22 November 2024. Mukhtar Babayev presides COP29, while Samir Nuriyev heads the Organising Committee.
The choice of Azerbaijan as the location for the conference is controversial due to it being a major oil and gas producer. Reporters and anti-corruption non-profits have also criticized that the conference is held in an authoritarian state with extensive corruption. The "official partners" of COP29 are businesses that are owned by ruler Ilham Aliyev's family or have ties to the Aliyev family's businesses.
