Baku: The city of Baku in Azerbaijan will not require SMS permits during the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP29) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, despite rumors suggesting otherwise.

According to Trend News Agency, there has been misinformation circulating about the introduction of an SMS permit system during the upcoming COP29 event. The source clarified that not only are these rumors about SMS permits unfounded, but there will also be no additional restrictions such as limitations on movement or prohibitions on events like weddings. This information comes as a relief to residents and visitors who are preparing for the substantial international gathering.

The Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change is a significant event that attracts participation from 198 countries. The annual conference is pivotal in fostering international dialogue and cooperation on climate change. COP29, scheduled for November in Baku, follows the previous year’s c
onference in Dubai, where the decision to host the event in Azerbaijan was made. The Framework Convention on Climate Change, established during the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, serves as a fundamental international treaty aimed at stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations to prevent hazardous human impacts on the climate.

The conference in Baku is expected to bring together a large number of international delegates and observers to discuss and develop strategies against climate change, continuing the efforts initiated since the first COP in Berlin in 1995.
