The UNDP Resident Representative to Azerbaijan, Alessandro Fracassetti, has said that Azerbaijan has excellent potential to develop solar, wind and bio sources of energy. Fracassetti also said that the UNDP is ready to support Azerbaijan in its efforts to develop alternative energy and to take action on climate change.
“Azerbaijan has excellent potential to develop solar, wind and bio sources of energy. Renewable energy should be an integral part of all countries’ climate pledges. Shifting to renewables can create far-reaching development impacts, trigger an economic stimulus and widespread health benefits. This can also help the world get back on track in meeting the Paris Agreement obligations, limit global warming to 1.5 degrees and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. At UNDP we stand ready to support Azerbaijan to take bolder action on climate change, particularly through the newly re-established Climate Change Commission.” – underlined Fracassetti.
