At the 29th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 29), held in Baku, the President of the ALLATRA International Public Movement, Maryna Ovtsynova, expressed concern over insufficient global investment in climate initiatives and the urgent need for prompt measures to combat climate change. She highlighted that the global community does not realize how little time remains before the consequences of climate change become irreversible.
Maryna: "Today, we are here at COP 29 as part of the Egyptian Foundation delegation and are pleased to participate in such a significant event for the entire world. We sincerely hope the conference will generate interest and draw the attention of the global community to the key issues of climate change. Various opinions on climate change will be presented here, and I believe this event will help raise awareness of the enormous challenges facing humanity. We need to act as quickly as possible and mobilize the entire scientific potential to combat climate change; otherwise, we face serious issues."
According to the head of the ALLATRA International Public Movement, it is essential to mobilize scientific potential and attract the best minds to address climate change; otherwise, humanity will face severe problems in the future. Global resources should be directed toward concrete solutions to climate issues, emphasized Maryna Ovtsynova.
Maryna: "We do not realize how much time is left before the point of no return. Once humanity understands the magnitude of the threat, we will start directing more resources toward solving climate issues. We must unite all scientific potential, engage the best experts to find solutions, and consider different approaches, such as ocean cleanup."
The ALLATRA organization team highlighted the significance of the conference's location and the warm reception they received in Baku. ALLATRA representative Egon Chalokyan expressed admiration for the hospitality of the Azerbaijani people and their positive attitude toward cooperation. He noted that the event in Baku will be an important step in international cooperation on climate issues and will lead to practical results.
Egon: "The venue in Baku is perfect for this event; it is unique. The people are very pleasant and supportive. It inspires us to be open to new ideas. The people of your country were ready for cooperation, and I foresee this will be a very successful event. Beyond Azerbaijan, the event received wide press coverage, which is an important sign that the world is paying attention to climate issues."
The COP 29 conference promises to be a significant milestone in developing joint solutions and uniting scientific and political potential in response to global climate challenges.
