TBILISI -- Greta Thunberg isn't going to Baku for the COP29 climate summit: Azerbaijan's land borders are closed, and the Swedish climate activist famously doesn't fly. But she is spending the time close by, in neighboring Georgia and Armenia. And she is finding rough waters as she navigates the region's contentious politics. Thunberg's first stop in the Caucasus was Georgia, which she reached overland via Turkey.

Azerbaijan Eyes Prestige Boost From Hosting COP29, Despite the Critics

As Azerbaijan prepares to host this month’s global climate summit, it is getting plenty of the attention it has sought. But as often happens when this oil-rich, authoritarian state is home to a high-profile international event, much of the publicity is bad. Baku surely expected it would get criticism from the likes of Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch (HRW) when it won its bid last year to host the 29th UN Climate Change Conference (COP29) on November 11-22.

Analiză | După rezultatul alegerilor, georgienii privesc plini de speranță spre Vest

Oct 29, 2024 | romania.europalibera.org | Joshua Kucera

Statele Unite și Uniunea Europeană au răspuns până acum relativ prudent la rezultatul alegerilor, în care Visul Georgian a obținut aproximativ 54% din voturi, iar cele patru forțe de opoziție cooperante, aproximativ 38%. La scurt timp după ce rezultatele au fost anunțate în seara zilei de 26 octombrie, partidele de opoziție au declarat că au fost furate, invocând inconsecvența lor cu ceea ce indicaseră sondajele la ieșirea de la urne.
