COP29, this year's United Nations Climate Change Conference, aims to engage and enhance ambition and enable action to reduce emissions, adapt to climate change, and address loss and damage. Heads of state, business and academic leaders, and members of civil society are gathering in Baku, Azerbaijan from November 11-22, 2024 with a focus on implementing and transforming key climate-related decisions into concrete actions and credible plans to tackle climate change. Once again, we are participating in events and sharing perspectives from our global thought leaders, students, and experts.
