Draft COP28 Text Proposes Azerbaijan Host Next Summit In 2024

People walk at Dubai's Expo City during the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) in Dubai.

A draft text published on December 10 proposed that next year's COP29 climate summit be hosted by Azerbaijan from November 11-22. The text will need to be adopted by the summit before it becomes official, but it is in line with expectations after Azerbaijan won backing from Eastern European countries on December 9. The text also proposed dates for COP30 in Brazil of November 10-21, 2025.
