The minister expressed gratitude to Spain for hosting the event and to Brazil and the United Arab Emirates for supporting the initiative, specifically highlighting the outcomes of COP28 and COP29. He underlined that COP29, held in Baku, marked a significant step in strengthening the role of culture in climate action, with the adoption of the Baku Finance Goal regarded as a historic turning point in global climate financing.

The minister emphasized that the “Green World Solidarity Year” declared by President Ilham Aliyev, the designation of the liberated Karabakh and East Zangezur regions as green energy zones, and the international forums held under the Baku Process demonstrate Azerbaijan’s commitment to a sustainable future.
