城市面积不到地球表面的 2%，但占全球二氧化碳排放量的三分之二以上，使其成为应对气候变化的基石。除了是气候变化的主要因素外，城市还极易受到其影响，最脆弱的群体受到的打击最大。这需要增加对城市韧性和适应能力的融资，以保护超过 10 亿人免受极端气候事件的影响。
可持续和气候适应型城市化是阿塞拜疆国家发展的关键优先事项，该国投入大量资金建设绿色城市并应对城市气候挑战。巴库还将在 2026 年举办世界城市论坛和世界环境日，为加强城市解决方案提供全球平台。
结果：11 月 20 日，COP29 将主办城市化日，并在气候和城市化高级别会议上发布 COP29 多部门行动途径 （MAP） 宣言，以促进韧性和城市化。城市化高级别会议之后将举行高级别圆桌会议，届时将汇集来自社会各界的利益相关者，推动绿色建筑、交通和基础设施、自然、城市健康和韧性方面的进步和合作，并为城市气候行动提供资金。
MAP 宣言的支持者将打算在城市地区采用多部门方法进行气候行动和规划。这将建立在以前的 COP 倡议的基础上，引入新的重点领域，包括自然与健康、城市农业、灾害韧性和早期预警以及数字技术和解决方案。支持者还将展示他们促进地方当局和城市参与 NDC 制定过程的意图。
此外，MAP 宣言将鼓励加强可持续城市化重要国际平台之间的联系，包括世界城市论坛、《联合国气候变化框架公约》缔约方大会和世界环境日。将鼓励所有世界城市论坛主办国政府，从 2026 年的阿塞拜疆开始，任命一名城市气候行动特使来带头开展这项工作，以加强合作并增强平台之间的连贯性和连续性。MAP 宣言还将呼吁联合国机构与政府间组织、多边开发银行、多边投资基金、慈善组织、双边捐助者及其执行机构之间加强伙伴关系和合作，以在城市气候融资方面树立雄心并采取行动。
在 COP29 上，我们还将在联合国人居署的推动下，与 LGMA 合作，在过去、现在和未来的 COP 主席国之间发起巴库城市气候行动连续性联盟，以加强每届 COP 及其相关城市倡议之间的连续性和连贯性。
号召性用语：与政府、城市和地方当局、议员、联合国机构、国际组织、多边开发银行、多边气候基金和慈善机构一起加入 COP29 MAP 韧性和健康城市宣言，在 COP 之间建立联盟，在气候议程中优先考虑气候城市问题，并支持任命城市气候行动特使。
附件 14：加强旅游业气候行动
旅游业是经济增长和发展的主要驱动力，为数亿人提供直接和间接的生计。然而，该行业是全球温室气体排放的重要贡献者，其本身也受到气候变化影响的威胁。旅游业的跨领域性质和变革性作用为加强气候行动提供了关键的必要性和机会。可持续性是阿塞拜疆国家旅游战略的一个重要特点，作为 COP29 主席国，我们致力于将各国和利益相关者聚集在一起，促进旅游业的整体气候解决方案。
COP26 关于旅游业气候行动的格拉斯哥宣言是提高旅游业在气候行动中的形象的一个重要里程碑。COP29 旨在通过在 11 月 20 日举办第一个专门的旅游日来巩固这一成就。通过与联合国旅游局合作，COP29 将成为与总体目标建立强有力对话的转折点和正确时机，以加强全球旅游气候行动作为支持国家气候目标的部门政策的定位。
结果：旅游日将举行高级别会议并发布 COP29 关于加强旅游业行动的宣言。
COP29 关于加强旅游业行动的宣言强调了旅游业加速气候行动的迫切需要，并将承诺通过减少排放和提高该行业的复原力来促进可持续旅游实践。特别是，支持该宣言的政府将通过将旅游业纳入国家气候政策文件，努力将旅游业定位为气候解决方案的关键组成部分。
继宣言之后，旅游日将作为一个平台，深入讨论在旅游业中实施统一和基于科学的温室气体排放测量，这仍然是一项重大挑战，也是加速脱碳的障碍。COP29 主席国旨在促进主要旅游利益相关者之间的全球合作和一致性，确保测量方法的有效协同作用。
旅游业利益相关者还将获得一个平台，以全面审查生态系统的复原力、再生和财务战略，从而促进关于旅游业在应对气候变化中的作用的全面和知情的讨论。

附件 15：水促进气候行动
水是气候变化的核心。水循环中断是人们经历气候变化的一些最直接的方式，数十亿人现在面临着严重的干旱、洪水、海平面上升、内陆水域萎缩和水污染，这也影响了与水相关的生态系统和生物多样性。阿塞拜疆受到里海萎缩的直接影响——里海是我们国家身份和生计不可或缺的一部分——影响了当地的沿海地区及其独特的生态系统和生物多样性，并对我们人口造成的日益严重的缺水威胁。
最近的 COP 越来越多地讨论水，水被确定为 COP28 阿联酋全球气候适应力框架的优先事项。该框架敦促缔约方努力大幅减少气候引发的水资源短缺，并增强气候对水相关灾害的抵御能力。此外，实现该框架的其他目标还需要对水和相关生态系统采取行动。水与气候的相互联系也是 2023 年联合国水事会议的一个主要优先事项。COP29 主席国寻求继续关注这一重点，增强倡议之间的一致性，并确保未来 COP 在水资源方面的连续性。
结果：在 COP29 期间的高级别活动中，将邀请与会者签署 COP29 关于水促进气候行动的宣言，该宣言是在 UNEP、UNECE 和 WMO 的支持下制定的，并得到了其他 UN-Water 成员的贡献。该宣言呼吁利益相关者在应对气候变化对流域和水相关生态系统的原因和影响时采取综合方法，加强区域和国际合作，将与水相关的减缓和适应措施纳入国家气候政策，包括 NDC 和 NAP。
该宣言将启动巴库水促进气候行动对话，作为关于水及其与气候变化、生物多样性丧失、荒漠化和污染的相互作用的一致和定期对话平台。该对话平台将在每年 COP 期间召开会议，以加强 COP 之间的连续性和连贯性，并跟进进展情况。该平台的领导层将来自冠军国、COP 主席国和联合国实体，并将邀请非政府组织、金融参与者和学术界等积极参与。
巴库对话还将鼓励建立和加强关于共享流域的伙伴关系，将各部委和相关利益相关者聚集在一起，以促进区域气候政策和计划的制定和实施。这些伙伴关系将通过建立知识中心或利用现有平台来分享最佳实践、交换地方和区域数据以及组织联合研究来支持，以协助政府整合其气候政策。
该宣言将确立“水促进气候大使”的立场，并鼓励 COP 主席任命一名大使，该大使将与对话平台合作，倡导水和气候综合政策。大使将通过关注水和气候的关系来补充联合国秘书长水问题特使的工作。
号召性用语： 与支持《联合国气候变化框架公约 （COP29） 关于水促进气候行动宣言》的利益相关者一起提高雄心。与参与巴库水促进气候行动对话的各部委和其他利益相关者一起采取行动。
附件 16：巴库全球气候透明度平台 （BTP）
透明度对于跟踪进度、建立信任和确定需要进一步行动和支持的领域至关重要。COP29 主席国还认为，透明报告是重申对《公约》和《巴黎协定》的原则、目标和目标的承诺的重要因素。
为了以身作则，阿塞拜疆目前正在努力在 COP29 之前提交其两年期透明度报告 （BTR），我们鼓励所有缔约方尽早提交 BTR。然而，我们理解，衡量和报告数据可能具有挑战性，并且显然需要进行能力建设，特别是对于许多发展中国家缔约方而言。在缔约方准备在 2024 年之后实施增强透明度框架 （ETF） 时，这一点尤为重要。
结果： COP29 主席国正在提高透明度的形象，并启动了巴库全球气候透明度平台 （BTP）。BTP 的目标是联合致力于支持发展中国家缔约方准备和提交 BTR 的利益相关者，促进所有缔约方之间在 ETF 各个领域的合作和知识交流，并在需要的地方更好地调动能力建设资源。
该平台与《联合国气候变化框架公约》和其他联合国机构和合作伙伴合作，为发展中国家举办关于其即将提交的 BTR 研讨会，我们将在东欧、南高加索、中亚、非洲、亚太地区、拉丁美洲和加勒比地区举办更多区域研讨会。
除了 BTR 之外，该平台还将努力扩大对 ETF 的参与，提供有针对性的支持、能力建设以及就经验教训交流经验。该平台将补充现有的透明度倡议，包括 #Together4Transparency 倡议。
为了提高政治意识，COP29 主席国、UNFCCC 和伙伴机构将于 9 月 25 日在纽约举行的第 79 届联合国大会期间召开全球气候透明度高级别对话。在此之前，哈萨克斯坦总统顾问兼国际环境合作特别代表祖勒菲娅·苏莱梅诺娃女士和意大利气候变化问题特使弗朗切斯科·科尔瓦罗先生是有史以来第一次任命了透明度问题高级别对子。
行动号召： 与支持巴库全球气候透明度平台的所有利益相关者一起提高雄心，参加该平台的 BTR 研讨会，参加全球气候透明度高级别对话，在 COP29 之前尽早提交。与专注于透明度的合作伙伴一起采取行动，支持 BTP 的缔约方能力建设计划。

Key moments: We will host a high-level event on gender in transparency, a high-level meeting on water to launch the COP29 Declaration on Water for Climate Action.
November 22 Final Negotiations
No thematic programming to allow Parties to focus on the final stages of the negotiations.
Annex 3: Climate Finance Action Fund
As outlined in the Global Stocktake, finance is a critical enabler of action. To address the scale and urgency of the crisis, we will need to deliver multiples, with substantial increases in contributions for both mitigation and adaptation finance.
As according to the direction provided by the President of Azerbaijan, H.E. Mr. Ilham Aliyev, we believe that countries rich in natural resources should be at the forefront of those addressing climate change.
Outcome: COP29 is launching the Climate Finance Action Fund (CFAF) which will be capitalised with voluntary contributions from fossil fuel producing countries and companies across oil, gas and coal, with Azerbaijan as a founding contributor. Members will commit to transfer annual contributions as a fixed-sum or based on volume of production.
CFAF will be a catalytic public-private partnership fund, mobilising the private sector and de-risking investment. The fund will also contain special facilities with concessional and grant-based support to rapidly address the consequences of natural disasters in the developing countries in need.
CFAF will provide off-take agreement guarantees for small and medium-sized renewable energy producers and first-loss capital for green industrial projects. The fund will also have a focus on the food and agriculture sector as a priority to protect livelihoods and achieve net zero.
CFAF will become operational after the initial fundraising round, which seeks to capitalise the fund with $1 billion, and when 10 contributing countries are committed as shareholders.
Fifty percent of the capital will be directed towards climate projects in developing countries that rely on support, across mitigation, adaptation, and research and development. These will promote the adoption of clean energy technologies, improve energy efficiency, strengthen climate resilience of vulnerable populations, and facilitate the development of cutting-edge technologies.
Fifty percent of contributions will be allocated to help meet members' next generation of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to keep the 1.5C target within reach.
Twenty percent of the revenues generated from investments will be deposited in a Rapid Response Funding Facility (2R2F) providing highly concessional and grant-based support. This facility will offer immediately accessible funding to address the consequences of natural disasters in Small Island Developing States, Least Developed Countries, and to other vulnerable developing communities as needed.
The fund will be headquartered with its secretariat in Baku, Azerbaijan. Its board of directors will include representatives from contributors, shareholders will collectively make decisions, and an independent audit committee will publish quarterly data including financial reports and project evaluations. The COP29 Presidency established a Working Group with participation of international financial experts, which works on further developing the management model and funding mechanism.
Call to action: Enable action with fossil fuel producing countries and companies joining the Climate Finance Action Fund.
Annex 4: The Baku Initiative for Climate Finance, Investment and Trade (BICFIT)
International investment and trade are key drivers of global growth and raising living standards around the world. But to meet our climate ambitions, we need to move beyond business-as-usual and promote climate- and development-positive investment and trade. In particular, we need to ensure that the developing world, through participation in the supply and value chains of green products, contributes to and benefits from global decarbonisation while capturing co-benefits and minimising trade-offs with the sustainable development goals.
BICFIT will be co-led by the COP29 Presidency together with UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and UN Development Programme (UNDP), in close collaboration with other partners, international organisations, multilateral development banks and climate funds, the private sector, philanthropic organisations, civil society and academia. BICFIT will work with multilateral development banks and climate funds, philanthropic organisations and development partners to better integrate climate finance with trade and investment and channel public and private climate finance to developing countries.
Outcome: The Baku Initiative for Climate Finance, Investment and Trade (BICFIT) will set a new partnership that seeks to enhance coherence by integrating the climate finance, investment, trade and overall sustainable development agendas. BICFIT will provide a global platform to support policy development, share knowledge and expertise, promote climate investment, and co-create solutions through dialogue. BICFIT will support parties and build their capacity to ensure that climate finance, investment and trade are fully embedded in national climate policies and development plans.
BICFIT will also explore how to strengthen the capacity of investment promotion institutions to attract climate-positive investments. It will encourage the establishment of national, regional and sub-regional platforms to enhance the climate finance, investment and trade nexus. These platforms will support the design, structuring and preparation of concrete, bankable climate projects, to align climate action with development objectives at a more targeted and local level.
To foster collaboration and help find shared solutions, there will be regular BICFIT Dialogues as a part of the biannual UN Trade and Development World Investment Forum and other global platforms. The first BICFIT Dialogue will be held at the 9th World Investment Forum in 2025.
Call to action: Enable action with UN agencies, international organisations, development partners, governments, multilateral development banks and climate funds, the private sector, philanthropic organisations, civil society and academia registering their interest to participate and be implementation partners.
Annex 5: Green Energy Zones and Corridors
To help reduce emissions and limit global warming to 1.5C, the first Global Stocktake called on Parties to contribute in a nationally determined manner to tripling renewable energy capacity and doubling the global average annual rate of energy efficiency globally by 2030. This is an ambitious target that is achievable with concerted action and policy support.
Moving towards implementation, various enabling conditions will be necessary to support Parties to contribute to this target. One of the main challenges is that renewable energy supply is often situated in locations far from demand.
First, green energy zones are needed to act as centralised hubs where sustainable energy generation is maximised. Secondly, green energy corridors are needed to allow for cost-effective transmission over large distances and across borders.
As a leading player in global energy markets with plans to utilise its abundant renewable energy potential and increase renewable energy exports, Azerbaijan already has experience with the challenges and solutions of the energy transition, and we have set green energy zones and corridors as key priorities for our national development and climate strategies.
Outcome: in partnership with UNECE and UNIDO the Presidency developed COP29 Green Energy Zones and Corridors Pledge that will be open for endorsement by various stakeholders.
The Pledge will bring governments together around a series of principles, commitments, and targets. To expand green energy zones, one component will advocate for policies and incentives that attract capital, make sustainable energy projects financially viable, and send the right market signals to stimulate investment.
To enable green energy corridors, another component will recognise the importance of regional collaboration and seek to expand or establish multilateral platforms for collaboration, a common methodology for feasibility studies, and harmonisation of grid codes.
Call to action: Enhance ambition with governments and other stakeholders endorsing the COP29 Green Energy Zones and Corridors Pledge.
Annex 6: Global Energy Storage and Grids
Increasing energy storage will be essential to addressing the variability of renewables and ensure the stability and resilience of energy grids. Furthermore, energy grids need modernisation to accommodate increasing shares of renewable energy that are variable and are sourced from more dispersed areas than traditional fossil fuel power generation. This will also be crucial to implementing and operationalising the outcomes of the Global Stocktake as part of a just energy transition.
Throughout the COP29-IEA High Level Energy Dialogues, participants have frequently raised the lack of energy storage solutions and the need for upgraded grids as a constraint on their ability to increase the share of renewable energy in their power generation. This is particularly important for developing countries that are seeking to expand electrification and ensure that hospitals, schools, and businesses have consistent access to affordable, sustainable and reliable power.
Azerbaijan has identified storage as a key priority to enable us to expand our renewable power generation and we have set a national target for energy storage capacity of 250 MW. However, no single country can develop the global battery industry alone and to mobilise global supply chains, develop the necessary technologies, and lower costs, we need greater collaboration to send stronger market signals.
Outcome: in partnership with UNECE and UNIDO the Presidency developed the COP29 Global Energy Storage and Grids Pledge that will set a global target to increase installed energy storage capacity to 1,500 GW by 2030, six times the 2022 level, for Parties to contribute towards in a nationally determined manner. Furthermore, to facilitate the development of green energy grids, endorsers of the Pledge will commit to enhance grid capacity through a global grid deployment goal of adding or refurbishing over 80 million kilometres of grids by 2040.
Endorsing stakeholders will also commit within their respective competences to guiding principles for critical enablers, such as finance, regulatory frameworks, technology development, supply chains, standardisation, collaboration, inclusivity, and reviewing progress, amongst others.
The COP29 Global Energy Storage and Grids Pledge will be open to a range of endorsers from governments, the private sector, civil society, UN agencies, and international organisations, in recognition of the range of actors that will have a role to play in supporting the expansion of global storage capacity and grid development.
Call to action: Enhance ambition with governments, private sector, civil society, UN agencies, and international organisations endorsing the COP29 Global Energy Storage and Grids Pledge.
Annex 7: Hydrogen Action
The Global Stocktake called on Parties to contribute towards global efforts to accelerate zero- and low- emission technologies, including low-carbon hydrogen. Hydrogen will be particularly important to decarbonise hard-to-abate industrial sectors like steel, aluminium and heavy transportation, and it can also serve as a storage solution, as surplus renewable energy can be used to produce green hydrogen.
However, the international trade of clean hydrogen is at a very nascent stage and there are multiple regulatory, technological, and financial barriers to the development of hydrogen markets. There is an urgent need to harmonise international frameworks, regulations and standards to create viable business models for the end-to-end value chain for hydrogen and the COP 29 Presidency will build on the COP28 Declaration of Intent on mutual recognition of certification schemes
Outcome: in partnership with UNECE and UNIDO, the Presidency will launch a COP29 Hydrogen Declaration to support the harmonisation and development of hydrogen markets.
In the COP29 Hydrogen Declaration, endorsing stakeholders will commit to accelerate decarbonisation of hydrogen production, and facilitate energy transition, scaling up demand for clean hydrogen, such as by establishing targets, incentives, mandates, public procurement initiatives and public-private partnerships. Where appropriate, they will integrate hydrogen into national climate and energy plans. They will also commit to accelerating global standards and mutual recognition of certification schemes, amongst other priorities.
During a high-level roundtable at COP29, stakeholders will consider country level announcements, stocktakes of previous initiatives, funding for clean hydrogen projects, amongst other outcomes.
Building on the Hydrogen Breakthrough launched at COP26, the Hydrogen Breakthrough: Priority International Actions 2025 will be launched at COP29 to set the framework and roadmap for prioritisation and collaborative action ahead of COP30.
Call to action: Enhance ambition with governments and other stakeholders endorsing the COP29 Hydrogen Declaration and enable action through registering interest to support the flagship activities.
Annex 8: COP Truce Appeal
The destructive nexus between climate change, conflict and fragility is a threat to communities around the world. Climate change could displace up to 1.2 billion people by 2050 and fragile populations facing intense humanitarian challenges have the least capacity to adapt to climate change.
Outcome: The COP29 Presidency will launch the COP Truce Appeal, modelled on the Olympic Truce hoping to build positive momentum that can lead to collaboration, climate action, and even peace between nations.
The Appeal will call upon all nations and parties to observe the truce from the seventh day before the opening of each COP to the seventh day following its closing. This will aim to remind all nations of the interplay between conflict and climate change and emphasise the imperative of finding collective solutions to protect the most vulnerable.
The COP Truce Appeal will be open to a range of endorsers from governments, the private sector, civil society, UN agencies, and international organisations, in recognition of the range of actors that will have a role to play in promoting peace and reconciliation.
Building on the work of previous COPs and following the COP28 Declaration on Climate, Relief, Recovery and Peace, COP29 will seek to maintain a focus on the importance of both preventing conflict and supporting some of the most vulnerable populations. On 15 November COP29 will host Peace, Relief and Recovery Day with high-level events to maintain a focus on the interplay between peace and climate and provide avenues for scaling up climate finance and support for the most vulnerable. The Day will provide a space for the voices of the most affected countries, prioritising women and youth perspectives.
The COP29 Presidency also launched a separate COP29 Peace and Climate Initiative co-led by the governments of Azerbaijan, Egypt, Germany, Italy, Uganda, the United Kingdom, as outlined in the Joint Communique of their first meeting on 27 July 2024. The overall objective of the initiative is to deepen dialogue and understanding and match the needs of the most vulnerable with existing resources. Alongside UN agencies, Multilateral Development Banks and other relevant stakeholders, the initiative will work towards establishing partnerships to share best practice and develop implementation mechanisms, such as establishing a centre of excellence hub.
Calls to action: Enhance ambition with all stakeholders supporting the COP Truce Appeal. Enable action with countries, multilateral development banks, UN agencies and relevant stakeholders expressing interest to participating in the COP29 Climate and Peace Initiative.
Annex 9: Green Digital Action
Digital technologies have a huge potential to play a supporting role in climate action by increasing energy efficiency across multiple sectors and providing monitoring and early warnings. Meanwhile, the growing uptake of digital tools also has the potential to increase emissions through energy consumption of data centres, material usage, and e-waste.
The COP29 Presidency believes that proactive and determined steps from both public and private stakeholders is required to ensure that digitalisation contributes to climate action. Furthermore, Azerbaijan is committed to leading by example and is seizing the opportunities through the development of green smart villages and ensuring that climate-conscious digitalisation is a priority in our national plans for socio-economic development.
At COP28, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and 40 partners from the public and private sector launched Green Digital Action initiative. To build on this work, COP29 will host the first Digitalisation Day at a COP to shine a spotlight on the growing opportunities and challenges posed by increasing digitalisation. This will include the first high-level meeting on digitalisation at a COP, to ensure that the public sector focuses and leads on this critical issue. In this effort, the COP29 Presidency has been closely collaborating with the ITU and the UNFCCC Technology Mechanism.
Outcome: On digitalisation day, the COP29 Presidency will launch the COP29 Green Digital Action Declaration. The Declaration will commit endorsers to pursuing leveraging digital tools for climate action, incorporating climate resiliencies into digital infrastructure, mitigating the environmental impact of digitalisation, enhancing data-driven decision making, promoting digital inclusion and equity, accelerating sustainable innovation and research, and encouraging sustainable consumer practices.
The Declaration includes a focus on increasing accessibility to climate-conscious digitalisation, committing to ensuring that digital solutions are accessible to all, particularly to LDCs, LLDCs and SIDS. Declaration endorsers will work to increase the role of multilateral development banks (MDBs) in mobilising climate finance towards these outcomes.
The Declaration will also draw attention to critical mechanisms that deserve further support, including the UNFCCC Technology Mechanism.
Calls to action: Enhance ambition with governments and the private sector joining the COP29 Green Digital Action Declaration.
Annex 10: Baku Initiative on Human Development for Climate Resilience
Education, skills, health and well-being are essential to ensuring that people can contribute to addressing the climate crisis. The capacities of individuals are vital to our collective efforts across both mitigation and adaptation, as we seek to innovate and implement climate-positive solutions in communities worldwide, while coping with a warming planet. The human development required to meet our climate objectives is also a critical component of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDGs 3, 4, 8 and 13. Evidence indicates that investment in the capacity and resilience of children from the earliest age is both cost-effective and critical for strengthening human development more broadly.
Several COPs have addressed issues related to climate change and various elements of human development, including health, education, jobs, skills, children and youth. At COP29 we will host the first holistic Human Development Day and launch the Baku Initiative on Human Development for Climate Resilience, that brings together these inter-related issues to be supported by commensurate financing and multi-faceted policy approaches.
Outcome: The Initiative will establish a strategic global collaboration on human development and climate change, bringing together international organisations, multilateral development banks and other stakeholders in the fields of education, health, social protection, jobs and skills, children and youth, and gender. This collaboration seeks to establish cooperation, coherence, and continuity between agencies as they address climate and human development. It will serve as a permanent platform for dialogue, catalyse investment in human development by matching needs with funds, and identify gaps and opportunities.
On health, the Initiative will establish the Baku COP Presidencies Continuity Coalition for Climate and Health, where past, current and future COP presidencies, along with the WHO, will be founding members. By inviting future Presidencies to join, the coalition will promote the permanent integration of health into the climate action agenda. COP29 will be a milestone in fully operationalising and enhancing the climate focus of the Health Impact Investment Platform and will support partnerships to collectively analyse and address climate and health investment needs.
On education, the Initiative will enhance global cooperation on greening education by establishing global minimum standards for greening schools, curriculum, teacher training and education systems’ capacities and communities through the UNESCO’s Greening Education Partnership. To ensure that environmental literacy becomes an essential objective of every child’s education the COP29 Presidency will support the development of a new PISA metric on environmental literacy. This metric will integrate evidence from relevant tasks across all PISA domains, highlighting the connection between core subjects and environmental skills and issues. PISA can monitor the progress of education systems in providing quality environmental education through robust evidence on students’ learning outcomes and data on school-level practices. If the initiative gains the necessary support, baseline data will be collected from all PISA participating countries in 2029 and subsequently every four years.
For jobs and skills, the Initiative will seek to strengthen efforts to scale up investment in skilling, reskilling and upskilling the current and future workforce and support a just transition. On children and youth, the Initiative will elevate attention to child-responsive climate policies, action and finance as a cross-cutting priority to create resilient societies and showcase best-practices.
The COP29 Presidency will host a high-level event that takes a holistic approach to climate change, viewing human development, jobs, skills, education, youth, children and health as interconnected issues. This will allow stakeholders to build synergies across their respective fields. This high-level event will seek to issue the Baku Principles on Human Development for Climate Resilience. The COP29 Presidency will then supplement these sessions with individual roundtables to address each thematic issues as a standalone priority.
Calls to action: Enable action with international organisations and multilateral development banks joining the strategic global collaboration on human development and climate change. Enhance ambition with all stakeholders supporting greening education.
Annex 11: Baku Harmoniya Climate Initiative for Farmers
The impacts of climate change on agriculture are threatening food and water security for people around the globe. Climate action in agriculture has the potential to address multiple challenges across adaptation, mitigation, ensuring food security, combating land degradation and water scarcity, as well as supporting the Sustainable Development Goals.
This is a challenge that Azerbaijan understands well, as a large part of our labour force is employed in agriculture, while water scarcity, desertification, and soil degradation exacerbated by climate change all threaten to reduce the yields of crops and impact economic development.
Over successive COPs there has been an increasing emphasis on agriculture, and at COP28, enhancing climate-resilient food and agriculture production, supply and distribution was a key sector prioritised in the UAE Framework for Global Climate Resilience. There are now more than 90 relevant global or regional initiatives, networks and partnerships focusing on policy, capacity building, or access to finance. Given the multitude of initiatives, there is a need for coherence, alignment and sharing of lessons learned to deliver greater impact.
Outcome: In partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the COP29 Presidency will launch the Baku Harmoniya Climate Initiative for Farmers.
Firstly, the Initiative will serve as an aggregator to improve coherence in the field, bringing together disparate initiatives to empower farmers, villages and rural communities. It will launch a portal to clarify the landscape of programmes to foster more efficient collaboration and knowledge sharing. It will also seek to identify gaps and opportunities to guide future policy making and resource allocation.
Secondly, it will help catalyse investment in climate-resilient agrifood systems by matching needs with available funds. It will also seek to address the gap between Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) and national agricultural Public Development Banks (PDBs) by facilitating collaboration between the two groups and developing synergies.
And thirdly, the initiative will seek to empower farmers, in particular women and youth, to help build climate-resilient agricultural communities. The COP29 Presidency and the FAO are consulting with MDBs on producing accessible guidelines for farmers and agricultural organisations and how they can apply for funds. The COP29 Presidency is also working with FAST to identify further resources and climate funding opportunities to empower farmers and rural communities to develop skills and accelerate access to new digital technologies. The Initiative will also actively engage with farmers’ organisations and relevant UNFCCC Constituencies to ensure that communities are heard, and their interests represented.
As host of COP29, Azerbaijan is currently co-chairing the board of the Food and Agriculture for Sustainable Transformation (FAST) Partnership within the FAO, and the FAST secretariat will support the Harmoniya Initiative.
Calls to action: Enable action with governments, MDBs, national agricultural PDBs, the private sector, philanthropy, international organisations and other stakeholders preparing to engage with the Baku Harmoniya Climate Initiative for Farmers when it is launched.
Annex 12: Reducing Methane from Organic Waste
In recognition of the need for deep, rapid and sustained reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in line with 1.5-aligned pathways, the Global Stocktake called upon Parties to accelerate and substantially reduce non-CO2 emissions globally, including, in particular methane emissions, by 2030. Methane has more than 80 times the warming power of carbon dioxide and rapid action can moderate future temperature rises.
Azerbaijan has signed the Global Methane Pledge to contribute to the global target of reducing methane emissions by at least 30% below 2020 levels by 2030, in line with the IPCC’s 1.5C pathway.
As countries look to effectively implement the Global Methane Pledge, it is critical to draw attention to the growing problem of methane from organic waste. Global waste has increased at an alarming pace over recent years, and in 2022, food waste generated up to 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions, nearly five times that of the aviation sector. This has major costs for economies, human health, and the environment.
Addressing the methane emissions from the waste sector will be an important contribution to global action on methane and the overall reduction of greenhouse gases. There are also co-benefits for achieving Sustainable Development Goals, in particular Goal 2 (Zero Hunger) and Goal 12 (Sustainable Consumption and Production).
Outcome: The COP29 Presidency will launch the COP29 Declaration on Reducing Methane from Organic Waste to supplement the Global Methane Pledge (GMP). The Declaration is being developed with the GMP Secretariat and UNEP’s Climate and Clean Air Coalition.
Endorsers will declare their commitment to set sectoral targets to reducing methane from organic waste within future NDCs. They will also work towards developing and implementing subnational policies, roadmaps, and action plans, and mobilising financial resources from both public and private sources, improving transparency and data-driven policy making, and developing innovative partnerships for collaborative action.
Calls to action: Enhance ambition with more governments signing the Global Methane Pledge and with governments endorsing the COP29 Declaration on Reducing Methane from Organic Waste to work towards targeted commitments in the waste sector.
Annex 13: Multisectoral Actions Pathways (MAP) for Resilient and Healthy Cities
Cities, covering less than 2% of Earth's surface, contribute to over two-thirds of global CO2 emissions, putting them at the cornerstone of the fight against climate change. Beyond being a major contributor to climate change, cities are also highly vulnerable to its effects, with the most vulnerable hit the hardest. This necessitates increased financing for urban resilience and adaptation to protect over a billion people from extreme climate events.
Sustainable and climate resilient urbanisation is a key priority for Azerbaijan’s national development, and the country has invested heavily in and building green cities and addressing urban climate challenges. Baku will also host the World Urban Forum and World Environment Day in 2026 providing a global platform for enhanced urban solutions.
Outcome: On 20 November COP29 will host Urbanisation Day and launch the COP29 Multisectoral Actions Pathways (MAP) Declaration for Resilient and Healthy Cities at the high-level meeting on Climate and Urbanisation. The high-level meeting on urbanisation will be followed by high-level roundtables, that will bring together stakeholders from across society to drive progress and collaboration on green construction, transport and infrastructure, nature, health and resilience in cities, and financing urban climate action.
Endorsers of the MAP Declaration will intend to work on multisectoral approaches to climate action and planning in urban areas. This will build on previous COP initiatives introducing new areas of focus, including nature and health, urban agriculture, and disaster resilience and early warning and digital technologies and solutions. Endorsers will also showcase their intention to facilitate participation by subnational authorities and cities in the NDC development process.
Furthermore, the MAP Declaration will encourage stronger links between critical international platforms for sustainable urbanisation, including World Urban Forums, UNFCCC COPs and World Environment Days. All World Urban Forum host governments, starting with Azerbaijan in 2026, will be encouraged to appoint a Special Envoy for Urban Climate Action to spearhead this work to strengthen cooperation and enhance coherence and continuity between platforms. The MAP Declaration will also call for stronger partnerships and collaboration between UN agencies and intergovernmental organisations, MDBs, MCFs, philanthropic organisations, bilateral donors and their implementing agencies for strong ambition and actions on urban climate finance.
At COP29 we will also launch the Baku Continuity Coalition for Urban Climate Action between past, current and future COP Presidencies and with the facilitation of UN-Habitat and in collaboration with LGMA to enhance continuity and coherences between each COPs and their relevant urban initiatives.
Calls to action: Enhance ambition with governments, cities and subnational authorities, parliamentarians, UN agencies, international organisations, multilateral development banks, multilateral climate funds and philanthropies joining the COP29 MAP Declaration for Resilient and Healthy Cities, establishing a Coalition between COPs to prioritise climate urban issues in climate agenda, and supporting the appointment of the Special Envoy for Urban Climate Action.
Annex 14: Enhanced Climate Action in Tourism
Tourism is a major driver of economic growth and development, providing direct and indirect livelihoods for hundreds of millions of people. However, the sector is a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions and is itself threatened by the effects of climate change. Tourism's cross-cutting nature and a transformative role presents both a critical necessity and opportunity for enhanced climate action. Sustainability is an important feature of Azerbaijan’s national tourism strategy and as the COP29 Presidency we are committed to bringing countries and stakeholders together to promote holistic climate solutions in the tourism sector.
The COP26 Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism was a major milestone in raising the profile of tourism within climate action. COP29 seeks to build on this achievement by hosting the first dedicated Tourism Day on 20 November. In partnership with UN Tourism, the COP29 shall be a turning point and the right moment to build a strong dialogue with the overall objective to enhance the positioning of tourism climate action globally as a sectoral policy supporting national climate goals.
Outcome: Tourism Day will feature a high-level meeting and the launch of the COP29 Declaration on Enhanced Action in Tourism.
The COP29 Declaration on Enhanced Action in Tourism emphasises the urgent need for accelerated climate action in the tourism sector and will commit endorser to promoting sustainable tourism practices by reducing emissions and increasing resilience in the sector. In particular, governments endorsing the Declaration will work towards positioning tourism as a key component of climate solutions by integrating tourism into national climate policy documents.
Further to the Declaration, Tourism Day will serve as a platform for deep-dive discussions on implementation of harmonised and science-based GHG emissions measurement in tourism that remains a significant challenge and represents a barrier for accelerated decarbonisation. The COP29 Presidency aims to foster global cooperation and coherence among key tourism stakeholders, ensuring effective synergy in measurement methodologies.
Tourism stakeholders will also be given a platform for thorough examination of ecosystem resilience, regeneration and financial strategies, thereby fostering a comprehensive and informed discourse on the role of tourism in addressing climate change.
Calls to action: Enhance ambition by stimulating policy change and integrating tourism into climate action, while fostering stronger partnerships with governments and national tourism administrations endorsing the COP29 Declaration on Enhanced Action in Tourism and engaging the private sector to support this initiative through collaborative efforts.
Annex 15: Water for Climate Action
Water is at the heart of climate change. Disruptions in the water cycle are some of the most direct ways that people experience climate change, with billions now facing severe droughts, floods, sea-level rise, shrinking of inland waters and water pollution, which also impacts water-related ecosystems and biodiversity. Azerbaijan is directly impacted by the shrinking of the Caspian Sea – an integral part of our national identity and livelihoods – affecting local coastal zones and their unique ecosystems and biodiversity and increasing threats of water scarcity to our population.
Recent COPs have increasingly discussed water, and water was identified as a priority in the COP28 UAE Framework for Global Climate Resilience. This Framework urged parties to work towards significantly reducing climate-induced water scarcity and enhancing climate resilience to water-related hazards. Furthermore, achieving the Framework’s other targets will also require action on water and related ecosystems. Water-climate interlinkages were also a main priority at the 2023 United Nations Water Conference. The COP29 Presidency seeks to continue this focus, enhance coherence amongst initiatives, and ensure continuity on water to future COPs.
Outcome: At a high-level event during COP29, participants will be invited to endorse the COP29 Declaration on Water for Climate Action, which is being developed with support from the UNEP, UNECE, and WMO, with contributions from other UN-Water members. The Declaration calls upon stakeholders to take integrated approaches when combating the causes and impacts of climate change on water basins and water-related ecosystems, strengthen regional and international cooperation, integrate water-related mitigation and adaptation measures in national climate policies, including NDCs and NAPs.
The Declaration will launch the Baku Dialogue on Water for Climate Action to serve as a consistent and regular dialogue platform on water and its interplay with climate change, biodiversity loss, desertification, and pollution. The dialogue platform will convene each year during COP to enhance COP-to-COP continuity and coherence and follow up on progress. The platform’s leadership will be drawn from champion countries, COP Presidencies, and UN entities, and it will invite the active engagement of NGOs, financial actors, and academia, amongst others.
The Baku Dialogue will also encourage establishing and reinforcing partnerships on shared water basin that will bring together ministries and relevant stakeholders to facilitate the development and implementation of regional climate policies and plans. These partnerships will be supported by establishment of knowledge hubs or by leveraging existing platforms for sharing best practices, exchanging local and regional data and organising joint research aimed at assisting governments on integrating their climate policies.
The Declaration will establish the position of the Water for Climate Ambassador and encourage COP Presidencies to appoint an ambassador who will work with the dialogue platform, advocate for integrated water and climate policy. The Ambassador will complement the work of the UN Secretary General’s Special Envoy on Water' by focusing on the water and climate nexus.
Calls to action: Enhance ambition with stakeholders endorsing the COP29 Declaration on Water for Climate Action. Enable action with ministries and other stakeholders participating in the Baku Dialogue on Water for Climate Action.
Annex 16: The Baku Global Climate Transparency Platform (BTP)
Transparency is essential to tracking progress, building trust, and identifying areas where further action and support is needed. The COP29 Presidency also believes that transparent reporting is an important element of reaffirming commitment to the principles, goals, and objectives of the Convention and the Paris Agreement.
To lead by example, Azerbaijan is currently working on submitting its Biennial Transparency Report (BTR) in advance of COP29, and we encourage all Parties to make such early BTR submissions. However, we understand that measuring and reporting data can be challenging, and there is a clear need for capacity building, particularly for many developing country Parties. This is especially important as Parties prepare to implement the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) beyond 2024.
Outcome: The COP29 Presidency is raising the profile of transparency and has launched the Baku Global Climate Transparency Platform (BTP). The BTP’s goal is to unite stakeholders committed to supporting developing country Parties in the preparation and submission of BTRs, promote collaboration and knowledge exchange amongst all Parties on the full spectrum of the ETF, and better mobilise capacity-building resources where they are needed.
In collaboration with the UNFCCC and other UN Agencies and partners, the Platform is holding workshops for developing countries on their upcoming BTR submissions, and we will host further regional workshops across Eastern Europe, the South Caucasus, Central Asia, Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean.
Beyond BTRs, the Platform will work to broaden participation in the ETF, provide targeted support, capacity building, and exchanging experiences on lessons learned. The Platform will complement existing transparency initiatives, including the #Together4Transparency initiative.
To increase political awareness, the COP29 Presidency, the UNFCCC and partner agencies will convene the High-Level Dialogue on Global Climate Transparency during the 79th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York on 25 September. This follows the first ever appointment of a high-level pair for transparency, Ms. Zulfiya Suleimenova, Advisor to the President of Kazakhstan and Special Representative for International Environmental Cooperation, and Mr. Francesco Corvaro, Italy’s Special Envoy for Climate Change.
Call to action: Enhance ambition with all stakeholders supporting the Baku Global Climate Transparency Platform, participating in the Platform’s BTR workshops, joining the High-Level Dialogue on Global Climate Transparency, making early submissions in advance of COP29. Enable action with partners focused on transparency supporting the BTP’s capacity building programmes for Parties.
