Azerbaijan's president clashes with UN report on climate change

Original: Azerbaijan's president sees no serious effects of climate change, but UN report says otherwise

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has said the country faces no serious effects of climate change, contradicting a UN report that indicates otherwise. The disagreement comes as Azerbaijan hosted the COP29 climate summit, drawing scrutiny of the government's environmental stance. Critics point to the country's oil and gas dependence and its vulnerability to water scarcity and Caspian Sea shrinkage as reasons for concern.

Why now: Azerbaijan's role as COP29 host puts the president's climate scepticism in sharp contrast with international findings.
