Courtesy call by H.E. Mukhtar Babayev, COP29 President and Azerbaijan’s Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources. I congratulated H.E. Babayev on the success of the recent COP29 held in Baku, following up on one of its key outcomes – the full operationalization of the Loss and Damage Fund. I look forward to deliberating on climate change with H.E. Babayev – a key figure in climate negotiations and climate action – over the course of the Sagarmatha Sambaad.
