Two years after COP29, Azerbaijan turns climate commitments into investment
- Azerbaijan has committed up to 1 billion manat (€540 million) to climate-resilient irrigation infrastructure under its 2026-2030 state programme, as the country hosted a regional climate week two years after staging COP29 in Baku.
- The figure, announced by Agriculture Minister Majnun Mammadov at Baku Climate Action Week, represents nearly 40% of the state agricultural budget earmarked for climate adaptation.
- The funding will support modern irrigation systems across the South Caucasus, where water shortages, shifting growing seasons and soil degradation are accelerating.
