Lukashenko arrived at World Climate Action Summit
President of Belarus Aleksandr Lukashenko has arrived at the Baku Olympic Stadium, which is hosting the World Climate Action Summit and where the Head of State was welcomed by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres
The global forum – bringing together tens of thousands of delegates, including many heads of state and government – is held under the auspices of the United Nations.
In his speech, Aleksandr Lukashenko will outline Belarus’ national position on the climate change agenda and the measures that the international community should take to address the challenges arising in this area. The President will also hold a number of meetings and negotiations with his foreign counterparts on the side-lines of the summit.
The UN Climate Change Conference, or Climate Summit, has been held annually since 1995 and brings together countries that are parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. The previous global forum was held in late 2023 in Dubai (UAE) with the participation of representative delegations from more than 150 countries.
The Azerbaijani side, as the COP29 presidency, proposed a range of initiatives for adoption, including the Baku Initiative for Climate Finance, Investment and Trade; the Baku Global Climate Transparency Platform; the Climate Finance Action Fund; the Strengthening Climate Action in Tourism; and the Green Energy Commitment: Green Energy Zones and Corridors, as well as other documents.
