Original Note:
The decision to select authoritarian Azerbaijan as a host of COP 29 has sparked backlash. Azerbaijan is a petrostate, and heavily relies on fossil fuels that actively lobbies for the use. The regime oppressed the protests of Soyudlu mines and jailed the activists. https://eurasianet.org/crackdown-on-environmental-protest-in-azerbaijan-sparks-outrage https://www.politico.eu/article/good-cop-bad-cop-azerbaijans-climate-charm-offensive-is-backfiring/
