Claims of a dead whale having washed ashore in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, have become a trending topic. The claim of a whale on the shore has sparked great curiosity among both the Azerbaijani public and the scientific community.
Experts working on the Baku Boulevard have questioned whether the mysterious entity seen in the Caspian Sea is truly a whale and whether whales live in the Caspian at all.
ARE THERE WHALES IN THE CASPIAN SEA?
Although the Caspian Sea has been known throughout history as a region where large marine creatures like whales do not live, these images that emerged in recent days have raised the question of how a whale could have come to the Caspian Sea.
IS THE WHALE THAT WASHED ASHORE REAL?
It has been revealed that the whale observed on the shores of Baku is a model created for the COP29 summit. COP29, a climate change summit, will be held this year in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan.
WHAT IS COP29?
COP (Conference of the Parties) is an annual summit organized by countries that are parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to address issues related to climate change. These conferences have been held every year since the first COP meeting held in Berlin in 1995. COP meetings provide an opportunity for countries to review the steps they have taken against climate change and to develop more effective policies. The summits also aim to improve international cooperation to slow down global warming, reduce carbon emissions, and increase resilience against the climate crisis.
COP 29 will be held in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, in 2024. This summit is an important platform for making progress on critical issues such as keeping global warming within the 1.5°C limit, reducing carbon emissions, and climate finance.
COP summits generally feature broad participation as they are open to both intergovernmental negotiations and the participation of non-governmental organizations, companies, and individuals. These summits aim to adopt and implement new decisions on climate action and sustainability.
