Azerbaijan is one of the leading countries in the climate change agenda and fight.
As Day.Az reports with reference to Trend, this was stated by the chief scientist of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Ismahane Eluafi during the performance on the second day Baku Climate Action Week.
She noted that Azerbaijan also faces a number of problems related to climate change.
“By 2050, water scarcity will become even more severe around the world. Climate change has already altered the water cycle at the global level. Just water transitions must be taken into account in agriculture.
Our agricultural research must be evidence-based,” she added.
It should be noted that the Week of Action runs from September 30 to October 4, 2024 and is being held in Baku for the first time.
The event will form the basis of the climate agenda ahead of WCOOP 29 in Baku in November.
Climate Action Week brings together key stakeholders from a range of sectors such as politics, finance, trade, investment, science, arts, culture, civil society and media.
The first half of the week (September 30 – October 2) is dedicated to climate solutions involving government agencies, academia and the private sector. In the second half (October 3-4), the emphasis will be on science, education, art, culture and other sectors.
