- What brings you to COP29 in Baku?
- I am here at COP29 in Baku to present research we conducted last year and expanded this year to two new countries Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan. This research focuses on understanding perceptions in these countries (a total of twelve) about the importance and urgency of building competencies and skills for the energy transition. Last year, we began with ten countries: Italy, the UK, the U.S., Saudi Arabia, the UAE, China, India, Türkiye, Algeria, and Chile. This year, we added Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan. The findings revealed some very interesting insights.
