These efforts aimed to reinforce the legacy of COP28 as the first COP to highlight this topic through a dedicated thematic day. The event also marked the launch of the UAE’s COP28 Declaration on Climate, Relief, Recovery and Peace, endorsed by 94 countries and 43 organizations.
Underlining the UAE’s leadership on the subject, His Excellency Abdulla Balalaa, Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs for Energy and Sustainability, participated in a High-Level Ministerial event hosted by the Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan, His Excellency Jeyhun Bayramov, to announce the Baku Call, COP29’s declaration calling for Climate Action for Peace, Relief and Recovery, and the Baku Hub, as its mechanism for implementation. The event was attended by ministers from countries across several regions, in addition to representatives from International organizations and agencies.
At the event, H.E. Balalaa, underscored that the Baku Hub and the Baku Call “represent two steps forward in enabling climate action in the most vulnerable countries, building on the concrete outcomes from COP28 and the foundations laid at previous COPs. Furthermore, His Excellency emphasized the disparity in access to essential financial resources for those in greatest need, noting how this inequity further widens the gap.
