At the climate summit in Baku, host nation Azerbaijan’s attack on Western countries has created a bad atmosphere. Several reacted when President Ilham Alijev praised the oil industry in his country and accused the EU and several Western countries of acting like colonial powers. Development Minister Anne Beathe Tvinnereim hopes the tirade does not slow down the negotiations on climate emissions and money for poor countries. – There were very strong claims, and what is a shame about that is that it derails the important work we are going to do here, Tvinnereim says to news.
