In addition to Egypt’s delegation, Prof. Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar and Chairman of the Muslim Council of Elders, is also set to participate in the conference’s opening. This marks the first time in COP history that the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar has been invited to such a significant event. The invitation was extended personally by President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan, during his meeting with the Grand Imam at Al-Azhar in Cairo last June.

The Grand Imam’s participation underscores the role of religious leaders in the global dialogue on climate change. During his address, he will speak on Islam's perspective on environmental preservation and the urgent need for collective action against climate change. His speech will highlight the importance of leveraging religious values to raise awareness and galvanize action among communities, emphasizing the responsibility of all faiths to protect the planet for future generations.

COP 29, being held in Baku, Azerbaijan, is a key moment for global climate discussions, and the participation of both Egyptian and religious leaders reinforces the importance of inclusive action in combating climate change.
