He stated that today’s discussions once again demonstrate the importance of strategic environmental assessment not only as an environmental protection instrument, but also as an important policy tool for sustainable urban development.
The minister noted that in 2024 Azerbaijan successfully hosted the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29).
He added that Baku Climate Week will be held on September 7–11 this year.
