OSCE and Azerbaijan are already co-operating in the field of ecology and climate change, OSCE Chair-in-Office, Malta's Minister for Foreign, European Affairs and Trade, Ian Borg, said in an interview with Report.
He welcomed Azerbaijan’s active participation in a project on climate and security, which is facilitating cross-border cooperation between Azerbaijan and Georgia on wildfire risk reduction for climate resilience:
“With Azerbaijan preparing to host COP29, there is a significant opportunity for deepening this cooperation even further and developing meaningful discussions on the nexus between climate change and security. These discussions could be highly beneficial and align with ongoing conversations within the OSCE on this critical intersection.”
