Minister without Portfolio in the Ministry of Economic Growth & Job Creation Matthew Samuda says he is hoping for a progressive outlook coming out of the 29th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29).
He was speaking in a British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) interview Monday morning.
COP29 is taking place in Azerbaijan’s capital city, Baku between November 11 and November 22.
Some nations have already indicated their absence from the week-long conference, which Minister Samuda, who has responsibility for Water, Environment, Climate Change, and the Blue & Green Economies, has expressed concern about.
