(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 1. The water level in the Caspian Sea is gradually decreasing, and efforts must be made to prevent this decline, Chief Operating Officer of the Baku International Sea Trade port (the Port of Baku) Eugene Seah said at a presentation on the second day of Baku Climate Action Week, Trend reports.

He noted that, as the heat turns up, this region will feel the pinch too.

"At the same time, the Aral Sea has completely dried up and turned into a desert. This means a reduction in water sources. What can we do to avoid this? We strive to mitigate the risks of climate change. In this regard, we are implementing specific measures," he said.

To note, Baku is hosting Action Week (BCAW 2024) for the first time from September 30 through October 4, 2024. The event will form the basis of the climate agenda ahead of COP29 in Baku in November and bring together key stakeholders from a range of fields such as politics, finance, trade, investment, science, arts, culture, civil society, and media.

The main themes of the event are“energy transition,"“cities and urbanized environments,"“water security,"“food and agriculture," "SMEs,” and“green skills.”

The first half of the week (from September 30 through October 2) will focus on climate solutions involving government agencies, academia, and the private sector. The second half (October 3-4) will focus on science, education, arts, culture, and other sectors.
