Scholz calls off trip to COP29 in Baku

YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 7, ARMENPRESS. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will not attend the COP29 climate summit as he deals with a political crisis at home, adding to a European leadership vacuum at this year’s talks, reports Bloomberg.

Scholz was due to attend the leaders' summit at the start of the UN climate talks in Azerbaijan next week.

However, he has cancelled that plan to help deal with the aftermath of his call for a snap election, according to Bloomberg.
