  • The world's largest annual climate conference kicked off this week.

  • It's known as COP29, and it's taking place in Baku, Azerbaijan.

  • Our colleague Matthew Dalton is an experienced COP attendee, and this weekend he's headed to Baku.

  • How many of these conferences have you been to at this point?

  • This will be my fifth COP.

  • The most interesting thing about them is it's a place where every country of the world almost is represented,

  • and a lot of times people are dressed in their traditional garb.

  • It's quite an festive and interesting place to be.

  • What are you packing to go to Baku?

  • I'm just packing the boring clothes of a Wall Street Journal reporter.

  • Suits.

  • Ties.

  • No suits.

  • Actually, no.

  • I'll have a few suits.

  • No ties, though.

  • No ties.

  • That's where I draw the line.

  • Matthew and his boring reporter outfit will likely see some members from the United States delegation at COP,

  • probably wearing some suits as well.
