Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, is preparing to host COP29, marking a pivotal moment in climate diplomacy.

The city has built a dedicated 112,000m² venue next to the Olympic Stadium, where over 40,000 delegates and world leaders will gather to address critical climate finance and emissions reduction targets.
