Hungarian expert: Hosting COP29 provides opportunity for Azerbaijan to demonstrate its achievements

Hosting the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) provides an excellent opportunity for Azerbaijan to demonstrate its achievements and effectiveness in combating climate change problems and environmental events, Vasa László, senior researcher at the Hungarian Institute of International Affairs, told Report.

According to the Hungarian expert, the importance of COP29 also lies in the fact that high-level guests and very important working groups will gather in Baku this November: “"This can help start future collaborations, including the involvement of new technologies in environmental protection activities. At the same time, new joint projects can be launched using the most modern technologies."

Vasa László also highly appreciated the idea of using "green projects" in the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals: "As for the development projects in Karabakh, it is a wise idea to implement such projects using ecologically clean, sustainable development, and circular economy. The projects presented here in the field of hydropower, and the creation of solar power plants are undoubtedly the projects of the future. I am sure that this will support the local economy."
