BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 15. The world transits from energy revolution to de-carbonization, UN Development Program (UNDP) Administrator Achim Steiner said at the XI Global Baku Forum, Trend reports.
He stated that the fight against climate change is critical, and
climate action aligns with national paths of sustainable
development.
According to the official, funding is also vital in combating
climate change.
“National determined contributions are an excellent approach to identify financing requirements and opportunities that each country has to provide, which the rest of the world can assess and analyze.
Thus, funding remains a key factor in facilitating or paralyzing collective action,” Steiner emphasized.
To note, the XI Global Baku Forum is attended by representatives of many countries and prestigious international organizations: more than 350 guests from more than 70 countries.
