BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 5. We will closely
monitor progress toward the goals set at COP29, including the Baku
Goal, Minister of Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change of
the Republic of Türkiye and President-designate of COP31, Murat
Kurum said, Trend
reports.
He made the statement in his video address at the international
conference dedicated to World Environment Day (WED), taking place
today in Baku under the motto “Inspired by Nature. For the Climate.
For Our Future.”
“The fight for the environment is also love for one’s homeland
and love for humanity. It is the will to protect our land, water,
air, and future generations.
As the Chair of COP30, we acted with this understanding at every
stage. In particular, we will closely monitor the implementation of
the goals set at COP29, including the Baku Goal. Because the
multilateralism we speak of is not achieved merely by setting
goals. It is achieved by fulfilling these promises, putting adopted
decisions into practice, and delivering concrete results that touch
people’s lives.
With this understanding, COP30 will not be merely a summit where
new commitments are discussed. COP30 will be an event where
practical implementation, cooperation, and concrete results take
center stage. Because the world no longer wants to hear just new
promises. The world wants to see them fulfilled.
The key to this success lies in the participation of all
segments of society in the process. I am convinced that everyone –
from governments to local administrations, from the private sector
to academia, from young people to women, and from civil society to
the financial sector – must be part of this transformation,” he
added.
