According to Jarjalova, approximately 2,700 of the registered participants are media representatives, while the rest include representatives from NGOs, various international observer organizations, and other guests.
Orkhan Mahmudlu, head of the transportation department of the COP29 Operating Company, stated that alternative routes have been established due to a number of restrictions on the streets and roads where convoys with heads of state and government will travel during COP29.
He noted that during the Leaders’ Summit on November 11, 12, and 13, traffic regulations will be implemented on various roads from the airport to the city center and from the city center to the Olympic Stadium.
Mahmudlu mentioned that the roads subject to regulation include the Airport Highway, Heydar Aliyev Avenue, Neftchilar Avenue, and the streets of Yusif Safarov, Niyazi, Istiglaliyyat, Lermontov, Mikail Huseynov, Khagani Rustamov, Teymur Elchin, and Mehdi Huseyn.
He also reported that during COP29, guests, including accredited local residents, will have free access to public transportation. “It will be enough to present an accreditation card. This includes buses, the metro, and rail transport,” he said.
The 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) will take place from November 11 to 22 in the capital of Azerbaijan, Baku.
