“Although, unlike many countries, we had only 11 months instead of two years, we did everything possible to bring parties’ positions closer together and provide a collaborative platform to achieve significant outcomes at this conference,” Bayramov remarked.
He expressed optimism over the results of COP29’s first day, which began on November 11. “Yesterday, after nearly 20 hours of negotiations, we reached an agreement on the agenda, which was subsequently approved. Another significant outcome of the first day was the agreement on Article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement, a topic that has been discussed for many years,” he said.
Bayramov noted that COP29 in Baku is anticipated to result in around 60 documents. “The most crucial of these, of course, is the agreement on the New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG), which we hope will be achieved,” he added.
While differences remain between many countries, Bayramov highlighted that all major stakeholders appear determined and are taking the matter seriously. “This shows that all key players understand their responsibility. Therefore, we are optimistic,” he concluded.
