The Volunteer Centre for the 29th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) was opened in Baku on June 2.
The opening ceremony was attended by COP29 President-Designate Mukhtar Babayev, Chair of COP29 Operating Company and Chief Operating Officer for COP29 Narmin Jarchalova.
The Volunteer Centre was established by the COP29 leadership to train volunteers to the highest level for this global event.
The centre will organize the efficient work of volunteers for COP29, which will play a pivotal role in the successful running of COP29. Through their selfless work and exemplary behaviour, they will act as ambassadors for sustainability.
During the event the official visitors familiarized themselves with the work of the centre and its facilities.
It was noted that the Volunteer Programme opened only a few days ago and in the course of a single day received nearly 10,000 applications from would-be volunteers, a record number for events held to date in Azerbaijan.
The number of online applications is exceeding 14,000 people. Those who are interested in becoming a COP29 volunteer may register their application via the portal until June 5.
