President Kagame has arrived at the Baku Stadium where he was welcomed by President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan and UN Secretary-General António Guterres before joining other world leaders for the opening ceremony of the 29th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change COP29
COP29 marks a pivotal opportunity to accelerate action to tackle the climate crisis. With global temperatures hitting record highs, and extreme weather events affecting people around the globe, COP29 brings together leaders from governments, business and civil society to advance concrete solutions.
A key focus of the conference is on finance, as trillions of dollars are required for countries to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect lives and livelihoods from the worsening impacts of climate change.
On the sidelines of the COP29, President Kagame will hold several bilateral meetings with different leaders, including the host President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan. (End)
