A clean environment and the goal of “green growth” have been identified as one of the five main national priorities for the socio-economic development of Azerbaijan until 2030.
“Elchi” reports that this idea was included in the address of President Ilham Aliyev to the participants of World Environment Day (WED) held in Baku within the framework of the partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
It was noted that, in accordance with this priority, purposeful efforts are being made to increase greenery and forest areas, ensure the efficient use of water resources and sustainable energy sources, and create modern infrastructure for waste management.
