‘Currently, large-scale efforts are being made in our country to address environmental issues, and addressing the ecological condition through state policy is a key component of Azerbaijan’s sustainable development plan.
Given this, it is not by accident that last year Azerbaijan achieved another significant success, and a decision was made to hold the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP29) of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in 2024 in Baku, one of the world’s most beautiful cities.
Our country has practically finished all the organizational work to guarantee the success of the event at a high level; there is rather little time left till COP29. It has already been prepared to greet all notable visitors, including experts, foreign dignitaries, representatives of non-governmental organizations, scholars, environmental activists, and other professionals,’ Mazahir Afandiyev, Member of the Milli Majlis of the Republic of Azerbaijan, told AZERTAC.
‘All of these accomplishments stem
from Azerbaijan’s dedication to justice on the international political scene since 2020. The people and Army of Azerbaijan have shown remarkable respect for all international organizations’ judgments and for the four well-known resolutions passed by the UN Security Council. These were carried out on their own behalf, and in 2020 the nearly 30-year occupation of our homeland, Karabakh, came to an end as a consequence of the 44-day Second Karabakh War.
We have been steadily turning the freed areas into paradise for the past four years. Today, Azerbaijan is implementing the most cutting-edge living infrastructure projects in the East Zangezur and Karabakh economic zones, as well as developing ecotourism and decarbonizing the economy. In order to revitalize and repair these places and enable displaced people to return to their homes and utilize our natural resources, the state budget has already allocated about 19 billion manats,’ the MP pointed out.
