The president of COP29’s host country has told the UN climate conference that oil and gas are a "gift of god".
Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev criticised "Western fake news" about the country’s emissions and said nations "should not be blamed" for having fossil fuel reserves.
The country plans to expand gas production by up to a third over the next decade.
Shortly afterwards, UN chief António Guterres told the conference that doubling down on the use of fossil fuels was "absurd".
Separately, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer pledged further reductions on emissions, saying the UK will now aim for an 81% decrease by 2035.
