Taliban Attend COP29 Climate Summit as Observers
For the first time since their takeover of Afghanistan in 2021, Taliban officials will attend the UN COP29 climate conference in Baku, Azerbaijan, as observers. Despite holding power in Afghanistan, the Taliban lack official recognition from the UN and cannot participate as full members. The Taliban's attendance marks a significant diplomatic step, aiming to enhance international cooperation on climate issues, highlight Afghanistan's needs for climate finance, and address severe climate challenges, including droughts and water scarcity. Afghanistan is ranked sixth among countries most vulnerable to climate change impacts, affecting over half its population. While the Taliban are not recognized as the legitimate government, Azerbaijan invited them to the conference, allowing for potential peripheral discussions and bilateral meetings. This participation reflects an ongoing effort by the Taliban to gain international recognition and address internal environmental challenges.
