BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 14. The activists of Azerbaijani NGOs held an action to protest against pressure and intolerant attitudes towards migrants in Europe during the organization of the Eurasian Platform for Migration Initiatives, TurkicWorld reports.
The participants of the action chanted slogans such as "The climate crisis does not recognize any nation!", "Fight climate change, not immigrants!", "Climate refugees deserve a home!", "Take care of people, take care of the planet!", "The solution to climate change is people, not borders!", "Climate justice - migration justice!" and others.
The rally was silent and lasted for several minutes.
To note, the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) started in Baku on November 11. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is an agreement signed at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in June 1992 to prevent dangerous human interference in the climate system.
A total of 198 countries are Parties to the Convention. Unless the parties decide otherwise, the COP is held annually. The first COP event took place in March 1995 in Berlin, and its secretariat is located in Bonn.
The main expectation from COP29 is to agree on a fair and ambitious New Collective Quantitative Goal (NCQG) on climate finance. The COP29 chairmanship has launched 14 initiatives that include linkages between climate action and the Sustainable Development Goals, including green energy corridors, green energy storage, harmony for climate resilience, clean hydrogen, methane reduction in organic waste, action on green digital technologies, and other topics.
