BAKU, November 12. /TASS/. The international community's policy in the field of climate preservation should be based not on ideological attitudes, but on people's practical interests, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said at the meeting of world leaders within the framework of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP-29) in Baku.

"Our climate policy should be carefully charted and based on common sense. It should not be influenced by any ideology, alarmism or panic. It should take into account the views and interests of the people," Orban said.

He noted that the problem of climate preservation held a prominent place in the Budapest Declaration on the New European Competitiveness, adopted at the European Political Community summit in the Hungarian capital on November 7.

Orban also recalled that the Hungarian government had set an ambitious goal and raised the targets of the National Energy and Climate Plan with the aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 not by 40% but by 50% as compared to 1990 levels. This should ensure the achievement of climate neutrality and sustainable development of the country's economy. Nuclear power and alternative energy sources are seen as the main solutions. Orban said that the share of nuclear power in Hungary's total electricity generation was planned to reach 70%.
