RE: COP 295 Oct 2024 14:20
Our aim is that COP29 will create massive opportunities for African countries. Right now, not enough money is flowing into climate action in Africa, and that’s not just a missed opportunity for Africa, it’s a missed opportunity for the world. For example, 60 percent of the best spots in the world for solar panels are in Africa. But only one percent of the world’s solar capacity is installed on the African continent. We know that finance needs to be more available, more affordable and more accessible, especially in developing economies. Azerbaijan is a developing economy ourselves, so we understand these issues well. That’s why we are working to agree on a new climate finance goal that will help more money flow to developing nations to support action on climate change. We want African countries to be a central voice in this debate and are actively engaging with the climate community in this region.
