An Azerbaijani delegation led by Vugar Gulmammadov, the Chairman of the Chamber of Accounts, has participated in an international event focused on the role of supreme audit institutions in assessing national climate action, according to Azerbaijan in Focus, reporting AzerTac.

The event was held in New York, US, and co-organized by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) and Brazil’s Federal Court of Accounts.

Addressing the event, Vugar Gulmammadov highlighted that the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP29) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change would be held in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan.

As part of his visit, Vugar Gulmammadov also met with Bruno Dantas, the Chair of the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI) and President of the Federal Court of Accounts of Brazil, as well as with a representative of the Secretariat of the INTOSAI Working Group on Environmental Auditing (WGEA). The meetings featured discussions on COP29-related issues and the assessment of national climate action efforts.

The bodies of two people have been recovered from a red pickup truck, which was under water where the Baltimore bridge collapsed, the BBC reports.

Eight construction workers were on the bridge when a ship struck it, plunging them into the waters below.

Two of the workers were rescued on the day, but the search continues for the other four – all presumed dead.

Salvage crews are working to address hazardous materials and accident investigators are on the scene.

Four of the six victims of the bridge collapse have been named so far.
