COP29 will be a key event not only for the climate agenda but also for the implementation of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), UN Resident Coordinator in Azerbaijan Vladanka Andreeva said at the conference “For sustainable development of Azerbaijan: presentation of the Common Platform and National Standard on Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG)”, AzVision.az reports.
“COP29 will be a key event not only for the climate agenda but also for the implementation of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. The coming years will require decisive action - the window of opportunity is rapidly shrinking, and we are running out of time to make ambitious commitments and negotiate funding for these initiatives on a global scale, ensuring that no one is left behind. We need everyone's efforts. Businesses and the private sector must become part of this climate initiative. Your role in the years ahead will be significant, and we need to move now to keep global warming below 1.5°C,” she said.
To note, Baku is hosting a conference titled “For sustainable development of Azerbaijan: presentation of the Unified Platform and National Standard on Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG)”.
The event sees the attendance of Sadig Gurbanov, the chairman of the Committee on Natural Resources, Energy and Ecology of the Azerbaijani Parliament, along with Vladanka Andreeva, the UN Resident Coordinator in Azerbaijan, and a host of other officials.
