“Walk the Talk for Climate Action” held in Baku

Baku, October 4, AZERTAC

A symbolic 1.5-kilometer walk along the Baku Seaside National Park was organized as part of "Baku Climate Action Week." In partnership with the United Nations in Azerbaijan and supported by Trendyol, the event aimed to raise awareness about the urgent need for action to limit global warming to 1.5°C. The walk symbolized a collective commitment to climate action and the importance of solidarity and trust in tackling the climate crisis.

Nigar Arpadarai, UN Climate Change High-Level Champion for COP29, and Vladanka Andreeva, UN Resident Coordinator in Azerbaijan, opened the event, emphasizing the significance of collective global and local efforts to mitigate the impacts of climate change and strengthen climate resilience of vulnerable communities.

"Today, we walk not just as individuals, but as a united community striving to address the climate crisis. This 1.5-kilometer walk is a powerful reminder that the 1.5°C is not a choice, but a limit we must respect to safeguard our future and protect vulnerable ecosystems like the Caspian Sea," said Vladanka Andreeva.

The walk brought together participants from various sectors of society, including government officials, UN representatives, civil society organizations, persons with disabilities, the private sector, and young people. Starting at the COP29 Information Center and ending near the Carpet Museum, the walk served as a visual reminder that everyone has a role to play in protecting the environment and addressing climate change.

The event further built momentum and multi-stakeholder engagement ahead of COP29 in November.
