Azerbaijan’s foreign policy advisor, Hikmet Hajiyev, spoke to Euronews at COP29 in Baku, emphasizing the importance of consensus in finding solutions at the climate summit. He stated that Azerbaijan, as one of 198 participants, cannot impose decisions on other countries, highlighting the diverse responsibilities and objectives of all involved.
The negotiations at COP29 aim to secure a deal that could provide significant financial support to developing nations, particularly in the Global South, who are already facing the damaging effects of climate change. Experts estimate that over one trillion dollars annually is needed to address climate-related damages and facilitate a transition to clean energy, a cost that most countries cannot afford independently.
Hajiyev’s comments underscore the collaborative nature of the climate summit, where all parties must work together to reach agreements that benefit the planet and its inhabitants. As discussions continue, the focus remains on finding solutions that are mutually beneficial and address the urgent challenges posed by climate change.
