"Azerbaijan To Upgrade Climate Target Before COP29 Summit"

"BRUSSELS - Azerbaijan, host of this year's United Nations COP29 climate summit, will upgrade its national emissions-cutting target ahead of the November event, a senior official said on Tuesday.

All countries face a U.N. deadline next year to toughen their national climate targets as part of a system designed to try to pull the world off its current track towards graver climate change.

But few governments are expected to do so this year. By moving early, Azerbaijan aims to nudge others to act."
