Climate change has had serious consequences in Azerbaijan since the start of the 21st century. The climate of Azerbaijan was 1.3 degrees hotter by 2010.[1] The Caspian Sea is shrinking.[2] Azerbaijan will host the United Nationals Climate Change conference in 2024, known as COP29.[3]

Description

Climate Trace estimates 2022 greenhouse gas emissions will reach 91 million tonnes CO2eq, with over 40% of emissions from fossil fuel production.[4] The petroleum industry in Azerbaijan exports fossil gas. Over 90% of exports from Azerbaijan are petroleum-based.[5] Azerbaijan has over 7 billion barrels of proven crude oil reserves under the Caspian Sea.[6] Energy consumption is estimated at about 16% of GHG, while transportation is estimated at about 10% of GHG.[4]

The climate of Azerbaijan has increased by 1.3 degrees, while extreme weather events are increasing.[1][7] The water level of the Caspian Sea is falling.[2]Forests in the Caucasus are affected.[8] Ecological problems on the coast are being made worse by climate change.[9]

In the post-Soviet economic period, the Azerbaijani economy has become state-controlled and oil-based. Oil is the main contributor to the Azerbaijan economy; decreases in oil prices negatively affect the entire country. [5] Cotton may be the most affected agriculture in Azerbaijan, which is sensitive to climate change.[10][11] In 2023 the Minister of Agriculture reported that the country is engaging in climate-smart agriculture.[12] Fishing is affected.[13] Stranded assets are a long-term risk.[14] Azerbaijani health may suffer from the extreme heat and a longer malaria season.[15]

Mitigation and adaptation

Шаблон:As of there is no net zero target.[1] There are intermediate GHG reduction targets.[1] The country's second Nationally Determined Contribution includes a 40% reduction compared to 1990.[16] It may be possible to produce low-carbon hydrogen.[17]

A national adaptation plan is hoped to be published in 2024.[18] COP29 is being hosted in Baku in 2024, probably in November; it will be the third oil-producing country in a row to host the conference.[3][19] Cooperative Mechanisms under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement may be discussed.[20] Some have criticised that the country was chosen to host COP29 and say that environmental activists are repressed.[21] Media freedom in Azerbaijan is restricted, including around discussions of climate change.[3][22]

There is a Youth Climate Envoys programme.[23]
