ROSATOM will participate in the 29th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29), which will begin on November 11 in Baku, Azerbaijan. ROSATOM’s involvement in the event aims to promote nuclear energy as a reliable source of clean energy, playing a key role in combating climate change and achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
During the conference, ROSATOM will showcase key achievements in sustainable development, energy security, and green technology, supporting global climate goals in Russia and the international markets. ROSATOM representatives will take part in sessions focused on energy transition scenarios for various countries, climate regulation development, and educational collaboration to foster a fair and sustainable future. Supporting young professionals advocating for nuclear technologies will be a priority for the ROSATOM delegation at the conference.
The main COP29 business program events with ROSATOM speakers include the panel discussion “Russia’s Fuel and Energy Complex: A Look into the Future” and the session “Energy of the Future: Fuels and Technologies for a Just Energy Transition” (both on November 14); sessions on “Climate Change and Investment for Risk Mitigation Related to Uranium Legacy Sites in Central Asia,” “The Role of Nuclear Energy in Achieving Carbon Neutrality,” and “The Future of Energy Systems in the Black Sea Region” (all on November 15); “Nuclear Education Technology: Path to a Fair and Sustainable Future” (November 18); and “One World – One Climate: Uniting Efforts for Transboundary Adaptation” (November 21).
“ROSATOM has traditionally participated in the global UN climate conference because we believe nuclear energy makes a substantial contribution to low-carbon generation and energy transition. By developing nuclear power plant projects worldwide, we help integrate a clean energy source into the national energy mix of partner countries, setting up appropriate green regulation. Equally important is our commitment to fostering dialogue with young leaders, joining forces to address climate preservation, a shared goal uniting humanity today,” commented Alexey Likhachev, Director General of ROSATOM.
