[Title] Joint Solemn Appeal by the COP29 Presidency for a COP Truce

This year, the world will gather in Baku, Azerbaijan for COP29 - a historic opportunity to advance the global climate action agenda.

Climate change impacts our only home - the Earth - and every nation must be unwavering in this battle.

COP29's fundamental message is that our common humanity can transcend political differences and stand together in unity.

Amidst conflicts spreading and rising, this ideal is more critical than ever. It is a unique chance to bridge divides and find paths towards lasting peace.

Conflicts increase greenhouse gas emissions and ravage the environment, polluting soil, water and air. The devastation of ecosystems and pollution caused by conflicts worsen climate change and undermine our efforts to safeguard the planet.

Climate talks must be unifying, with undivided attention and cooperation by all.

We call on everyone to observe the COP Truce during the month of COP29.

Let the COP Truce serve as a symbol of human solidarity.

Let's unite for a safer, more prosperous and sustainable future for all.

It is only by prioritising peace and climate action that we can ensure a liveable planet for future generations.
