On past Friday, Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, hosted an event titled "COP29: Promoting Solidarity and Unity in Addressing the Challenges of Climate Change through Enhancing Ambition and Enabling Action." The event took place on the sidelines of the 31st Economic and Environmental Forum of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), Azernews reports.

Organized by Azerbaijan’s Permanent Representation to the OSCE and moderated by Florian Raunig, Austria’s Permanent Representative to the OSCE, the event featured remarks by Yalchin Rafiyev, Azerbaijan’s Deputy Foreign Minister and COP29 Lead Negotiator.
