Cop29 will be the second year in a row that the UN’s most important climate talks will be hosted by a petrostate heavily reliant on fossil fuel production, after Cop28 was held in the United Arab Emirates.
Dang what a coincidence.
The head of Azerbaijan’s state gas distribution network is also on the committee.
How weird that this happened, what are the chances?
The Cop29 president-designate, who will be responsible for bringing together countries to drive climate action, is Mukhtar Babayev, the minister of ecology and natural resources.
Babayev previously spent 26 years working for the State Oil Company of the Azerbaijan Republic (Socar). Azerbaijan plans to increase its fossil fuel production by a third over the next decade, the Guardian revealed recently.
Huh, wow. These crazy coincidences just keep happening.
They happens because the location has to rotate across regions, and be agreed upon by consensus. Petrostates (most recently Russia) block non-petrostates from hosting.
Here’s what happened with the most recent one. Russia was vetoing every possibility, and then (after the article was published) said ‘yes’ to Azerbaijan
