Azerbaijan Secures Hosting Rights for COP29 Climate Summit

Azerbaijan has announced that it has secured a consensus to host the 2024 UN climate conference, COP29. The decision was delayed due to Russia's opposition to any European Union country hosting the event. Azerbaijan's bid still needs to be ratified by the nearly 200 countries present at COP28, but the vote is expected to be a formality. Demonstrations took place at COP28, with protesters highlighting the plight of imprisoned human rights activists in Egypt and the United Arab Emirates. The talks at this year's conference have focused on ending fossil fuel extraction, putting scrutiny on the host country, which is a member of the OPEC oil cartel.

This marks the first time a pontiff would have addressed a U.N. climate conference.
