Efforts are underway to create a green energy zone in Azerbaijan's liberated territories, Chairman of the State Committee for Urban Planning and Architecture of Azerbaijan Anar Guliyev said, AzVision.az reports.

He made the remark during the Azerbaijan Sustainable Built Environment Leadership Roundtable in Baku today.

According to him, sustainable construction is becoming increasingly important amid the climate crisis caused by global warming.

“Azerbaijan is proving its commitment to combating global climate change by chairing COP29.

In the construction industry, we are implementing a number of measures related to digitalization and environmental protection. The installation of a rooftop solar energy system was shortly approved,” he added.

The roundtable is a special high-level meeting of leading industry leaders in Azerbaijan, including CEOs, ministers, UAE construction companies, the President of COP29, and the UN High-Level Champion for COP29.
