What a farce! Another veteran of the oil and gas industry to lead the next round of COP 29 climate talks

Cop29, the next round of UN talks to tackle the climate crisis, will be
led by another veteran of the oil and gas industry.
Mukhtar Babayev, Azerbaijan’s ecology and natural resources minister, has been appointed
the president-in-waiting for the Cop29 climate talks when they take place
in the country in November. Before his entry into politics in the
autocratic country in western Asia, once a Soviet republic, Babayev spent
26 years working for the State Oil Company of the Azerbaijan Republic
(Socar).
Close observers of the Cop process will see parallels with the
appointment of Sultan Al Jaber, who moonlighted from his role as the chief
executive of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company to preside over the summit
when it took place in Dubai last year.
