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.
