Azerbaijani COP29 President Mukhtar Babayev urged representatives of the nations present at the conference to resolve their differences. It follows two weeks of tense negotiations at the UN climate talks over money to help poorer countries fight global warming. “I know that none of us wants to leave Baku without a good result on our key objective,” COP29 President Mukhtar Babayev said during the closing plenary session. “I now ask you to step up your commitment to one another to bridge the gap that remains.” SOUND EXTRACTS
