Türkiye: Plans for Harmful Coal Expansion
Toxic Air Affects Health in Surrounding Community
COP29, to be held in November 2024 in Azerbaijan, is the annual UN climate change conference where governments, experts, journalists, businesses, civil society, and Indigenous peoples will discuss climate action to enable countries to collectively meet the target of keeping the global rise of temperatures to 1.5 degrees Celsius, thereby avoiding the worst consequences of the climate crisis.
Azerbaijan, a major oil and gas exporter, has a longstanding record of suppressing free speech, swiftly and often brutally dispersing peaceful protests, and using pernicious and abusive laws to paralyze independent nongovernmental organizations. A crackdown on independent voices over the past year has resulted in the arrest or sentencing of dozens of independent journalists, civil society activists, and academics on a variety of bogus criminal charges.
