COP29 has made an important contribution to consolidating international efforts, Prime Minister Ali Asadov said in his speech at the Regional Environmental Summit in Astana, APA reports.
“Within the framework of the Regional Environmental Summit, the discussion of issues of fundamental importance for ensuring environmental sustainability, economic development, and the well-being of our peoples is a highly relevant and timely step. Azerbaijan attaches great importance to environmental protection and the fight against climate change, and considers these areas an integral part of the national and international sustainable development agenda. In this context, the UN climate conference held in Baku – COP29 – has made a significant contribution by uniting international efforts on key issues of the global climate agenda. We are confident that the outcomes of the current summit will also serve to develop practical initiatives and strengthen regional cooperation in the field of environmental protection. At a time when global challenges related to climate change, the depletion of freshwater resources, and the increasing pressure on water resources are intensifying, water security issues are becoming a priority on the international agenda.
In this regard, we support the initiative of the Republic of Kazakhstan to establish a specialized international water organization under the auspices of the United Nations,” the Prime Minister said.
