The government of Azerbaijan has picked a former oil executive to be the president of the next U.N. climate summit, which will be held in the oil-rich country later this year. Mukhtar Babayev spent 26 years at Azerbaijan’s state oil company before becoming the country’s ecology and natural resources minister. The recent U.N. climate summit in the United Arab Emirates was also headed by an oil executive: Sultan Al Jaber, CEO of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company.
