Azerbaijan’s participation in the Covenant of Mayors initiative is an indication of its commitment to international obligations related to climate change.
Elchi.az reports that this was stated by the European Union Ambassador to Azerbaijan, Marijana Kujundžić, at an event related to the Covenant of Mayors initiative.
“Like everyone else, Azerbaijan is suffering from climate change. I have been informed that there has been a serious decrease in the level of the Caspian Sea. By working together, we can reduce the volume of carbon emissions, and we can do this in various cities of Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan’s joining the Covenant of Mayors initiative shows that it is trying to fulfill its international obligations,” the EU ambassador said.
