Historically, since 1995, COPs have had an average of 10,000 participants. In 2009 in Copenhagen and 2015 in Paris, this number reached around 30,000. In the last 3-4 years, it has risen again to 30,000, Deputy Minister of Energy of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Chief Executive Officer of COP29, Elnur Soltanov said in an interview with APA.
He noted that at the most recent COP held in Dubai, the number of guests was around 60,000 to 100,000: "This was historically unprecedented. We expect around 40,000 to 50,000 guests. However, there are other factors to consider. Will only registered participants be counted, or will family members and visitors attending related events also be included? This could affect the total count. As we have mentioned, COPs are a climate negotiation process, where it is sometimes stated that an excessive number will result in deviating from the main goal. In all cases, Azerbaijan is ready to welcome future guests."
