Garabagh Revival Fund Highlights Global Landmine Issue at COP31 in Antalya

Antalya:At the 31st session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP31), the Garabagh Revival Fund is emphasizing the global threat posed by landmines. These explosive remnants of war not only endanger human lives but also significantly obstruct restoration and reconstruction efforts worldwide.

According to Azerbaijan State News Agency, the Garabagh Revival Fund is set to screen the documentary "Deadly Legacy" at the Azerbaijan Pavilion during the COP31 climate conference. The film, produced by Beach House Pictures and commissioned by the Garabagh Revival Fund, aims to shed light on the landmine issue.

The screening will be co-organized by the Garabagh Revival Fund and Nigar Arpadarai, the UN Climate Change High-Level Champion for COP29. The documentary underscores the international endeavors of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, to combat landmine threats globally and proposes the inclusion of humanitarian demining as the UN's 18th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG).

"Deadly Legacy" was filmed across multiple countries, including Bosnia and Herzegovina, Colombia, Laos, and Azerbaijan. It features interviews with local and international experts and officials, as well as personal stories from landmine victims, highlighting the widespread impact and consequences of landmines in liberated territories.
