relevant forum to advance the climate agenda and reaffirm the
importance of dialogue and collaboration in the fight against
climate change. This partnership will play a critical role in
achieving successful outcomes at COP30. As mentioned in my first
letter to the international community, we must explore all possible
ways to address the many challenges we will face in the future,”
André Corrêa do Lago said in a statement.
“The multilateral climate system has already delivered tangible
benefits, and we must continue the spirit of courage and solidarity
demonstrated at COP29 in Baku. Every country must now stand up,
ensure that we meet our past commitments, and continue moving
forward in implementing them. We must send a clear signal of our
unwavering dedication to continued ambitious climate action in
Copenhagen,” COP29 President Mukhtar Babayev said.
“Global climate action and unity are now more crucial than ever.
Sadly, some countries are stepping back, but we must remain
steadfast in ensuring a sustainable future. I am proud that we are
once again bringing key global players together in Copenhagen to
advance the climate agenda,” Minister Lars Aagaard said.

and drive ambitious outcomes in the UN’s annual climate summits.
