Water is the vector through which the effects of climate change
are felt; 90 percent of climate impacts are transmitted to humans
through water.
Elnur Soltanov, Deputy Minister of energy of the Republic of
Azerbaijan and Chief Executive Officer of COP29, stated this during
his speech at the conference on "Water and Gender Equality,"
Azernews reports.
"All over the world, women are often the most vulnerable in
society. We tend to transfer problems to this weak link, and they
bear the brunt of the impact. Women have a limited role in
decision-making, while men dominate economic activities, leaving
women to shoulder domestic work. Exploitation falls heavily on
women. Men earn from their economic contributions, but women do not
receive compensation for their domestic roles."
Elnur Soltanov also noted the high participation of women in
COP29, saying, "I can proudly say that women's participation in
COP29 is significant."
It should be noted that the 29th session of the Conference of
the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change
(COP29) was organized by the State Committee for Family, Women, and
Children's Issues, the Azerbaijan State Water Resources Agency, and
ADA University as part of the "Year of Solidarity for the Green
World." The conference, dedicated to "Water and Gender Equality,"
will discuss the impact of climate change on women's lives, their
participation in the protection and management of water resources,
encouraging them to pursue careers in this field, and maintaining
gender balance in staffing.
