Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences

The large-scale events are held at the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences within the framework of the “Green World Solidarity Year” and in connection with COP29. Both COP29 and the “Green World Solidarity Year” have brought innovations not only to various fields of social life in Azerbaijan, such as the economy, but also to scientific thinking- said the President of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences, Academician Isa Habibbeyli, in an interview with “AzərTac”. The Academician said that two years ago, our knowledge about green energy in the economic sphere might have sounded like utopia:

“However, today, everyone knows that there are renewable energy sources in Azerbaijan, and work continues at the state level to use these sources. As for science, a new field explaining, defining, and guiding green energy-green energetics has emerged. Today, new concepts have been formed. For example, people now talk about “green growth”, “green chemistry”, and “green skills”. It is as if the world has given a green light to a new civilization”.

Touching on the significance of COP29, the head of ANAS underlined that hosting this event in Azerbaijan contributes to the development, enrichment, and transformation of the country’s economy, various spheres of society, and way of thinking.

“I think the green movement brought by COP29 is a green light for a new civilization. The fact that this movement is taking place in our republic, and that Azerbaijan is hosting COP29 as a result of the great policy pursued by President Ilham Aliyev, demonstrates that our country is one of the leaders in this new civilizational movement and even guiding it. In this sense, I think the “Green World Solidarity Year” and COP29 will introduce Azerbaijan as one of the centers of civilization in the world and as a creator of a new civilization.
