COP29 will be held in Azerbaijan in November 2024, Azerbaijani Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources Mukhtar Babayev told journalists.

"Azerbaijan is ready to welcome the guests who will visit the nation for COP29, and preparations in this regard will continue. We have one year left. We must focus not only on infrastructure but also on content. Climate opinions from around the world will be heard in Azerbaijan. This will be the region's first climate summit of its kind. We can discuss our own policies, work, and programs in these areas. A fantastic and amazing event is in store for us. Azerbaijan has a lot of fantastic things in store for it," the minister said, according to Trend.
