“We will build on success of previous COPs, we must also make progress on the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage. Building on the successes of COP27 and COP28, we must get the Fund fully operational,” said Mukhtar Babayev, COP29 President-Designate, Azerbaijan’s Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources, as he addressed the 3rd meeting of the Board of the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage in Baku on Tuesday.
According to him, the human cost of climate change is huge: “Only recently, the super typhoon Yagi left the tragic loss of life and left significant damage across parts of Asia.”
“It is ‘our moral duty’ to support the nations suffering from climate change,” the minister emphasized.
