UN Climate Change Conference 2024
Baku, Azerbaijan
The Green Digital Action track at the 29th UN Climate Change Conference, COP29, focused on fostering wider partnerships, securing new commitments, and engaging global leaders to advance the use of sustainable technology and build climate resilience.First-ever Digitalisation Day
This year, for the first time in COP history, the Presidency recognized the importance of digitalization in the climate talks and announced the Digitalisation Day. Therefore, apart from the regular GDA sessions, our agenda included the High-Level Roundtable on Digital Action Path 4 Green World, on 16 November 2024, Baku – at the Digitalisation Day. It explored how digital technologies can transform climate action.
Green Digital Action Declaration
The roundtable concluded with the adoption of the first Declaration, which aims to accelerate climate-positive digitalisation and emission reductions in the Information and Communication Technology sector and enhance accessibility of green digital technologies.
National governments and other stakeholders can endorse this Declaration at digitalisation@cop29.az
