Baku Climate Action Week is a crucial event ahead of COP29, UN Resident Coordinator in Azerbaijan Vladanka Andreeva said at an international conference within the framework of Climate Action Week in the capital city today, AzVision.az reports.
"Azerbaijan's announcement as the host of the COP29 conference followed with the active mobilization of representatives from various sectors to combat climate change. In this process, Azerbaijan is working closely with the UN, the COP29 Presidency Team, the government, civil society, development partners, the scientific community, and youth.
One of the key initiatives, of which I am particularly proud, is our flagship project — the '29 Climate Talks' with leading experts in the field. Another key event on the road to COP29 is the Baku Climate Action Week," she explained.
To note, Baku will host Action Week for the first time from September 30 to October 4, 2024. It will form the basis of the climate agenda ahead of COP29 in Baku in November.
The Baku Climate Action Week (BCAW 2024) will bring together key stakeholders from a range of fields such as politics, finance, trade, investment, science, arts, culture, civil society, and media.
The main themes of the event are “energy transition," “cities and urbanized environments," “water security," “food and agriculture," "SMEs,” and “green skills.”
The first half of the week (from September 30 through October 2) will focus on climate solutions involving government agencies, academia, and the private sector. The second half (October 3-4) will focus on science, education, arts, culture, and other sectors.
