Mukhtar Babayev, a former #oil and #gas executive, was announced as the president-in-waiting for #2024’s international #climate conference, #COP29. The conference is a follow-up to last year’s, which saw another president with an oil and gas background. COP29 is set to take place in Babayev’s home country of #Azerbaijan in November. Babayev has been Azerbaijan’s minister of Ecology and Natural Resources since 2018. Before working in politics, Babayev had a career with the State Oil Company of the Azerbaijan Republic. According to the Guardian, Babayev has worked to remediate the contaminated soils of his country in his current role. However, he also reportedly has voiced his continued support of developing Azerbaijan’s oil and gas industry, which accounted for 92.5% of the country’s export revenue last year.
