Azerbaijan's Petroleum Interests at Odds with Climate Change Goals

ai generated text

Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev views the upcoming COP29 climate summit, which will be held in Baku, as an opportunity to enhance the country's image. However, Azerbaijan's human rights record and press freedom are concerns. The country ranks 130th on the Economist Democracy Index and 164th in the Reporters Without Borders rankings.

    1. Whether it is at a level below or above 1.5C of warming, every additional increment of global warming increases climate extremes, impacts and risks.
  2. AZ
    Ilham Aliyev
    1. I have always said that having oil and gas deposits is not our fault. It's a gift from God.
    2. The more renewable sources we have, the more natural gas we will save.
    3. No one can ignore the fact that, without fossil fuels, the world cannot develop, at least in the foreseeable future.
    4. As the head of a country rich in fossil fuels, of course, we will defend the right of these countries to continue investments and production.

    1. Climate catastrophe is hammering health, widening inequalities, harming sustainable development, and rocking the foundations of peace. The vulnerable are hardest hit.

    1. The climate negotiations will only succeed if we have a strong and very credible presidency.
    2. Huge investments are being made in fossil fuels, and climate protection measures are minimal.

    1. We're heading into a COP where even the host isn't bothering to do the basic functions of climate diplomacy.

    1. Donald Trump and his supporters clearly have a view that oil and gas is really central to America's global strength and that shouldn't be toyed with.
  7. FR
    Laurence Tubiana
    1. From now on, Baku will be a success if everyone stays together to pursue climate action and if there is a message from the COP that reiterates an adherence to the Paris Agreement.
  8. US
    Alice Hill
    Council on Foreign Relations
    1. Under President Trump's leadership, the United States will almost certainly step back from global and domestic efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increasing fossil fuel production.
    2. Trump's victory presents a real obstacle in the global fight against climate change.

COP29

  1. Climate finance deal agreed at COP29, $300 billion allocated for developing countries
