BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 1. The water level in
the Caspian Sea is gradually decreasing, and efforts must be made
to prevent this decline, Chief Operating Officer of the Baku
International Sea Trade Port (the Port of Baku) Eugene Seah said at
a presentation on the second day of Baku Climate Action Week,
Trend
reports.
He noted that, as the heat turns up, this region will feel the
pinch too.
"At the same time, the Aral Sea has completely dried up and
turned into a desert. This means a reduction in water sources. What
can we do to avoid this? We strive to mitigate the risks of climate
change. In this regard, we are implementing specific measures," he
said.
To note, Baku is hosting Action Week (BCAW 2024) for the first
time from September 30 through October 4, 2024. The event will form
the basis of the climate agenda ahead of COP29 in Baku in November
and 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.
