In this episode of Road to COP29, we go behind the scenes to take a look at the big preparations Baku is working on to host the global climate summit.
Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, is preparing to host COP29, marking a pivotal moment in climate diplomacy.
The city has built a dedicated 112,000 m² venue next to the Olympic Stadium where more than 40,000 delegates and world leaders will gather to address critical climate finance and emissions reduction goals. Improving airport facilities, crowd management and expanding accommodation will ensure Azerbaijan is prepared to handle this influx.
For Azerbaijan, COP29 signals its commitment to climate action and shows the country’s growing attractiveness as a tourism hub.
