  President Ilham Aliyev: Azerbaijan takes bold steps to overcome challenges posed by climate changes

“Climate change affects all countries across continents, with the small island developing nations being the most vulnerable. It adversely impacts livelihoods globally and impedes the progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Azerbaijan is not an exception. Each year we see decreasing water levels in our rivers, while the Caspian Sea is shrinking. Azerbaijan also faces water scarcity,” President Ilham Aliyev said in his address to the participants of the Pre-COP29 held in Baku, AzVision.az reports. 

“Azerbaijan takes bold steps to overcome these challenges. At the national level, we are successfully implementing our socio-economic priority of “clean environment and green growth”. Azerbaijan has announced 2024 as the “Green World Solidarity Year”. Our abundant wind and solar potential enable us to advance renewable agenda. The liberated Karabakh and East Zangezur, declared green energy zones, host sufficient renewable sources,” the head of state noted.
