Impact of Azeri aggression on environmental protection: COP29 side event kicks off in Yerevan
Yerevan is hosting a conference titled “The Impact of Azerbaijan’s Aggression on Human Rights and Environmental Protection,” a side event of COP29 organized independently in Armenia.
The conference has been organized in response to the decision by the United Nations to designate Azerbaijan as the host of COP29, despite concerns over its track record of aggression toward the people of Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh), as well as the authoritarian policies and Armenophobic rhetoric of President Ilham Aliyev, American University of Armenia (AUA) reported.
The event will address the impact of Azerbaijan’s actions on both human rights and environmental protection in the region.
Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, currently in Armenia, is a special guest speaker at the event.
