Gore emphasized the absurdity of petrostates leading UN climate talks, calling for reforms to prevent conflicts of interest in COP presidencies.
Gore stated that Azerbaijan's COP presidency reflects a reliance on fossil fuels, with 90 percent of their economy dependent on oil and gas sales.
He argued that Russia's influence led to Azerbaijan's selection for the COP presidency, positioning it within the eastern European region.
Gore believes that the COP summit process needs reform, especially when oil company executives lead such critical discussions on climate change.
