"Azerbaijan put forward 14 global initiatives within the framework of COP29. When these initiatives were launched, five main principles were taken into account. First, we aimed to determine the balance between the pillars of the climate agenda, including financing. The second principle involves analyzing the balance between raising ambitions and pragmatism.

The third principle is to balance the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development goals. The fourth principle is that our initiatives include not only global but also regional issues. The fifth is to ensure harmony between people and nature," E. Mammadov emphasized.
