Human Rights, Climate Justice, and COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan

The CSEEES & SEELRC are pleased to present:

Human Rights, Climate Justice, and COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan
Kate Watters, Co-founder & Executive Director, Crude Accountability
with special guest: Emin Bayramli, son of Gubad Ibadoghlu

In November of this year, COP 29, the United Nations Climate Conference, will be held in Baku, Azerbaijan. This marks the third year in a row that the event will be hosted by a government with significant fossil fuel reserves and a poor human rights record.

As Azerbaijan's authoritarian regime cracks down on civil society, imprisoning independent journalists and civil society activists, how will this impact the upcoming climate conference, climate justice, and the rule of law?
