Addressing the panel discussion titled "Joint Progress on Green
Development: Promoting Harmonious Coexistence of Humanity and
Nature," S. Mammadov highlighted Azerbaijan's transformation into a
key transit hub within the Eurasian region. He emphasised
Azerbaijan's strategic location at the crossroads of the
North-South and East-West corridors, pivotal to the transport
routes of the "One Belt, One Road" initiative. He also discussed
his involvement in infrastructure development.
Mammadov underscored Azerbaijan's commitment to transitioning to
green energy, despite its rich hydrocarbon resources. He noted
Azerbaijan's notable investment in renewable energy sources
relative to GDP, positioning the country among global leaders in
this area. Proudly referencing Azerbaijan's successful bid to host
the 29th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention
on Climate Change, the Azerbaijani MP highlighted international
trust in his country's contributions.

Milli Majlis and the Inter-Parliamentary Union for organising a
Parliamentary Conference during COP29, Mammadov provided insights
into the draft document prepared for this session. He emphasised
that the draft addresses global concerns and underlined the
importance of utilising all platforms effectively to tackle
pressing global issues threatening future generations and the
planet.
Expressing confidence that COP29 will mark a significant
milestone in global climate action, Mammadov assured that
Azerbaijan stands ready to mobilise its resources towards this
goal. He extended an invitation to parliamentarians from SCO member
and observer countries to actively support and participate in
COP29.
