00:00Zobaczmy, z naszą stronę, z myślą stronę, z naszą partnerstą,

00:05now we need to call to the countries, to action, to implementation.

00:20Hello and welcome to Energy Frontiers,

00:23our new Euronews series exploring the global energy landscape.

00:27It was right here in Baku, Azerbaijan,

00:30that the COP29 UN Climate Change Conference was held late last year.

00:35And today we're talking to COP29 President Mokhtar Babaev

00:39about the diplomatic challenges that lay ahead

00:41as we move towards COP30 in Brazil.

00:44To begin with, here's a quick overview of what's at stake.

00:49A decade since the Paris Agreement was signed

00:52and the road ahead is uncertain.

00:55In January 2025, US President Trump withdrew from the climate deal again.

01:01And as Brazil prepares for COP30,

01:04developing countries want action, not promises.

01:07Poorer nations need more money to adapt to climate change

01:11and more money for low-carbon energy.

01:14Many voices are calling for an end to fossil fuel use

01:18and an end to deforestation.

01:21COP30 in November will be a fresh test of global ambition on climate change.

01:26And as the planet warms rapidly,

01:28the need for multilateral cooperation is higher than ever.

01:33I'm delighted to say that I'm joined in studio by Mokhtar Babaev,

01:36the President of COP29.

01:38Thank you so much for being here today.

01:40Thank you for your invitation.

01:41We've seen, of course,

01:42President Trump exit the US from the Paris Agreement again.

01:46When it comes to the COP process, what impact, what bearing does this have?

01:51Our mission is to build a trust between the countries, between the parties,

01:55to be interconnected, to be the bridge between the countries.

02:00And in this case also we hope that the process, the climate process is multilateral process.

02:09We would like to see all countries to be part of the discussions, of the negotiations, obligations.

02:17But we understand that each country possibly has own agenda.

02:22The US is the big emitter, the big player on the carbon market.

02:29And I think we respect the position of the United States.

02:35From the global north to the global south,

02:37countries have different ambitions, different resources, timelines and priorities.

02:42It's a fragmented landscape at present.

02:45Do you believe that leadership when it comes to climate change is somewhat rudderless at this point?

02:50It's not one country as the leader of the process.

02:53I think in different regions of the world, different continents,

02:57different countries take this leadership and continue this process.

03:01And we expected the continuation of the big interest of the renewable energy.

03:09Today is already visible.

03:11Today is already interesting for the private sector.

03:14We've got the US and other producers pumping more oil than ever before.

03:19When we look at the Paris agreement, have we lost sight of our goals and ambitions?

03:23Today, more and more countries now invested to the green and alternative energy than to fossil fuel.

03:37And I think the process will continue.

03:40For example, in Azerbaijan, we, together with our partners,

03:46we investing a lot to the green transition.

03:49But, you know, Azerbaijan is oil and gas country.

03:53That's why I think the Paris agreement is a very good framework for the countries to cooperate

04:03and develop this energy transition in the future.

04:08Famously, at COP29, in your speech, you said that the current policies are leading us down the road to ruin

04:15and that certain countries who are suffering most at the hands of climate change needed less paperwork,

04:22less prayers, more compassion, more action.

04:25In terms of the unmissable opportunity that COP29 presented, what's been done since then?

04:31We agreed regarding the first time ever in the UN system,

04:34300 billion of the contributions agreed to the at least 300 billion contributions,

04:40dollars contributions to developing world, to developing countries,

04:46to assist them to move their economy to the alternative energy.

04:52Another one big decision in Baku, it was Article 6 rules agreement.

04:59And I think it is also a big chance for the private sector,

05:04good conditions for the private sector to be involved in the process of the finance.

05:08At the same time, the loss and damage fund operationalization is also...

05:14We agreed all necessity frameworks and documents to start the funding already in 2025.

05:24Understanding that it's a continual process and focusing on the developing countries

05:29that you mentioned there, many left feeling frustrated,

05:32arguing that they didn't receive the funding, the financing needed for not only adaptation

05:37but mitigation.

05:38How do you respond to those criticisms?

05:40You know, sometimes some skepticism we have from the different parties

05:44but I think, again, a very important decision made in Baku at COP29

05:50give us a good fundament for the countries to collaborate.

05:58At the same time, now our mission is continuing,

06:02that now we push the countries to perform these promises,

06:07perform these obligations.

06:09That's why this year is very important.

06:13As you look to pass the baton to Brazil for COP30,

06:17what would your advice be?

06:19What must be prioritized?

06:21I think it's a very important and difficult time

06:27and now the Brazilian team is under big pressure.

06:31Our focus is the very important process

06:34of the support of the least developed countries,

06:41small island development states and other developing countries

06:45because now it's a time for the developed world,

06:49for the global north to demonstrate this leadership

06:52and to provide necessity contributions.

06:55I fully agree with you to demonstrate leadership,

06:58to provide the resources,

07:00but where is the accountability,

07:01not least for the promises made in Glasgow,

07:04in Dubai, in Baku and through to Brazil?

07:08What mechanisms are in place to make sure that these things happen?

07:11I think the obligations of each country

07:15to perform the agreement,

07:17to perform the pledges,

07:19to perform the obligations

07:21and I think now from our side,

07:23from COP29 side,

07:24from our partners,

07:28now we need to call to the countries

07:32to action, to implementation.

07:34We hope that in Brazil

07:36we will have also good discussions,

07:39good outcomes

07:40and we are trying to support the Brazilian team

07:42in all these preparations.

07:43We sadly have to leave our conversation there

07:45but thank you so much for your time.

07:46Thank you.

07:47Well that's a wrap of this episode

07:50but join me again next time on Energy Frontiers.

07:52Until then, take care and goodbye.
