The event brought together faculty members of the University\u2019s Department of Economics, students, and young researchers who discussed the impact of climate change on the country\u2019s socio-economic development, particularly on the tourism sector, and exchanged views on possible solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the training, lecturers of the Department of Economics Kenan Abbasov and Rashad Huseynzade delivered presentations on the topic and created an active discussion environment with the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was emphasized that climate change is no longer viewed solely as an environmental issue but also as a matter of economic and social security. Participants were informed that within the framework of the Paris Agreement adopted in 2015, Azerbaijan has defined its national commitments and set specific targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It was also noted that these processes are carried out within the framework of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and that Azerbaijan actively participates in international climate initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the training, it was highlighted that green growth and environmental protection are among the main priorities outlined in the document \u201cAzerbaijan 2030: National Priorities for Socio-Economic Development.\u201d It was also noted that the implementation of the \u201cgreen energy zone\u201d concept in the territories liberated from occupation represents a practical example of the transition toward a sustainable development model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speakers also extensively explained the potential impact of climate change on the tourism sector. It was stated that rising temperatures, decreasing water resources, the reduction of snow cover in mountainous areas, and possible ecological risks along the Caspian Sea coast may affect the future of tourism. At the same time, the importance of transitioning to a sustainable and \u201cgreen tourism\u201d model was emphasized, and information was provided on the approaches proposed by the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) in this direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the end of the training, discussions were held with participants, questions were answered, and it was noted that aligning climate policy with tourism strategies could contribute to Azerbaijan\u2019s transformation into an environmentally responsible and competitive tourism destination in the region in the future.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
