Azerbaijan seeks to turn COP29 legacy into lasting green energy influence at COP31 [COMMENTARY]

The global climate agenda is entering a new and increasingly challenging phase. While governments continue to announce ambitious emissions reduction targets and renewable energy commitments, the gap between political declarations and their practical implementation remains one of the biggest obstacles to international climate cooperation. Against this backdrop, the 31st session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP31), taking place in Antalya, Türkiye, from November 9 to 20, provides an important opportunity to reassess global priorities and accelerate the implementation of existing commitments.

Armenian lobby’s old playbook meets new geopolitical reality

Ideology gives people belonging and binds them to a cause. But conviction is not proof of good faith or a guarantee of constructive ends. At its worst, ideology becomes more corrosive than poison: it outlives the circumstances that produced it, refuses to adapt and traps societies in grievances that should have been consigned to history.
