Head of Government Chairs Moroccan Delegation at COP29 in Baku

Baku –  Head of government Aziz Akhannouch, who is chairing the Moroccan delegation taking part in the 29th United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) in Azerbaijan, was welcomed on Tuesday at the Olympic Stadium in Baku by President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, and UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres.

The Head of Government was accompanied by Minister of Energy and Sustainable Development Leila Benali and Moroccan Ambassador to Azerbaijan Mohamed Adil Embarch.

Akhannouch visited various areas of Morocco and Azerbaijan stands, set within the blue zone of the Olympic Stadium in Baku, and attended briefings of the two countries’ achievements in the field of climate, particularly renewable energies.

This global summit (November 11-22) will be an opportunity to evaluate the progress made in mitigating climate change and to negotiate the best means of combating this phenomenon.

The Conference will focus primarily on climate finance, given the need to enable all countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect lives and livelihoods from the worsening effects of climate change, particularly for vulnerable communities.
