The use of private jets by attendees at COP29 in Baku has sparked criticism for its hypocrisy in the context of a climate change conference. Data shows a significant increase in private jet arrivals compared to last year, raising concerns about carbon emissions and the credibility of the summit. While some leaders justify avoiding commercial flights, the environmental impact of private jets is substantial. The conference has seen a reduction in overall attendance compared to previous years, and there are ongoing debates about the balance between catering to elite attendees and maintaining a commitment to climate action.
