Azerbaijan, hosting this year's UN climate summit, is accused of hypocrisy for calling for a global truce while being involved in ongoing conflicts and human rights issues.
The leaked draft of the truce appeal emphasizes that conflicts not only escalate greenhouse gas emissions but also lead to widespread environmental devastation, highlighting a need for peace to combat climate change.
Activists criticise Azerbaijan's role, citing its recent military action against Armenia which displaced over 100,000 people, questioning the sincerity of its peace initiatives during the summit.
Azerbaijan's call for a truce corresponds with its energy role in Europe, replacing Russian gas supplies, leading to scrutiny of its peace-promoting stance during COP29.
