BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 2. Azerbaijan
actively supports efforts to minimize carbon dioxide emissions and
increase the level of recycling, seeking to make this process as
comfortable and painless as possible for all participants of
economic activity, Azerbaijani Labor and Social Protection Minister
Sahil Babayev said, Trend reports.
He made the remark at the opening ceremony of the third day of
the international conference within the framework of Climate Action
Week in Baku.
“One of the biggest concerns in Azerbaijan's quick transition to
a green economy is its influence on human capital and social
policies. This requires innovative economic management methods. New
global issues necessitate quick responses. COVID-19, growing
unemployment, extremism, international organized crime, separatism,
and financial crises continue to hurt millions worldwide. Disabled
persons, women, youth, and informal economy workers are especially
vulnerable. The worldwide security system is likewise changing
rapidly, creating new dangers and threats. These changes make a
green economy necessary if the world wants to mitigate the economic
consequences of climate change and global warming,” he said.
According to him, the transition should occur promptly and in
accordance with the principles of social justice, guaranteeing an
inclusive workplace and safeguarding worker rights.
“Nowadays, both the world community and Azerbaijan actively
support efforts to minimize carbon dioxide emissions and increase
the level of recycling, seeking to make this process as comfortable
and painless as possible for all participants of economic
activity,” he added.
