(PPP) for Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) in Baku, Trend reports.
She mentioned that today's meeting in Baku was organized with
the support of UN entities and the PwC company.
"Our objectives for this event with PwC are clear. It is to
promote dialogue and cooperation, and we aim to create an
environment where public and private organizations can share ideas,
strategies, and best practices in ESG," Andreeva stressed.
According to her, it's crucial to shine a spotlight on
successful public-private partnership (PPP) models that would
really make a difference in sustainable development and take them
to the next level.
"It is also important to understand the challenges and barriers
to implementing innovative solutions for shaping PPP for
sustainable development," Andreeva said.
She believes it is crucial to bring all the stakeholders to the
table - government officials, business leaders, civil society
organizations, and academia - for fruitful discussions.
"As part of the discussions on PPP and ESG, it is necessary to
stimulate the adoption of specific commitments to achieve the
climate goals set at COP29 and beyond," the UN Resident Coordinator

She also referred to the importance of understanding ESG
standards, conducting training on ESG reporting, and supporting the
development of individual ESG strategies for this purpose.
"Our ultimate aim is to create an ESG community in Azerbaijan,
ensuring long-term commitment to ESG principles and practices.
Because integrating ESG practices is not just about compliance, but
also about value creation, risk management, and measures that
contribute to creating a green and sustainable future for all,"
Andreeva added.
