Mukhtar Babayev, Azerbaijan’s Presidential Representative for Climate Issues, announced a project in Guinea-Bissau, a West African country, designed to help the nation address climate change and access financial support.
Babayev revealed the project will be the first test of a new partnership model created with the Guinea-Bissau government and other organizations. It will concentrate on building the country’s ability to tackle climate change and develop relevant projects.
Babayev explained that vulnerable countries often struggle to obtain climate finance, prompting Azerbaijan to create the Baku Hub for Climate and Peace. This hub will connect Guinea-Bissau’s government with climate funds, development banks, UN agencies, partners, and private companies. The Azerbaijani representative believes the lessons learned from the Guinea-Bissau project can serve as a blueprint for assisting other fragile nations facing similar challenges. Azerbaijan intends to continue supporting climate action and showing solidarity with African countries through this initiative.
