Paris Agreement & NDC Commitments
Azerbaijan has ratified the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1995 and the Paris Agreement in 2016. The country submits its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to the UNFCCC Secretariat, outlining its climate change mitigation and adaptation targets.
In its updated NDC submitted in 2021, Azerbaijan set a new ambitious target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 40% by 2050 compared to the 1990 baseline. This commitment demonstrates the country's dedication to global climate action and the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Key pillars of this commitment include significantly increasing the share of renewable energy sources in the electricity generation mix, aiming for 30% by 2030. The strategy also emphasizes climate resilience, energy efficiency measures, and the development of Green Energy Zones, particularly in the liberated territories.
Key Highlights
- 40% emissions reduction by 2050: A confirmed target in the updated NDC.
- 30% renewable energy share by 2030: Accelerating the deployment of solar, wind, and hydro power.
- Climate resilience: Enhancing adaptation measures across key sectors like agriculture and water management.
- Green transition roadmap: Detailed plans for decarbonization and sustainable growth.
