Azerbaijan ranks among top countries in climate change agenda and fight - CGIAR

BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 1. Azerbaijan ranks
among the top countries in the climate change agenda and fight,
Executive Managing Director of CGIAR (Consultative Group for
International Agricultural Research) Ismahane Elouafi said during
the second day of the Baku Climate Action Week (BCAW 2024),
Trend
reports.
She highlighted that Azerbaijan is in hot water with a slew of
issues tied 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. Fair water transitions must be taken into account in
agriculture.
Our agricultural research must be evidence-based," she
added.
To note, Baku is hosting the Climate Action Week (BCAW 2024) for
the first time from September 30 to 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.
Founded in 1971, CGIAR is a global consortium that brings
together international organizations focused on research related to
food security. CGIAR research focuses on alleviating rural poverty,
enhancing food security, improving human health and nutrition, and
promoting the sustainable management of natural resources.
