Abstract
Background. Climate change is a serious global issue. In 1992, with the purpose of mitigating its effects, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change was adopted. The subsequent steps were the Kyoto Protocol (1997) and Paris Agreement (2015). Currently, this problem has reached a critical level, requiring additional efforts.
Aim. Assessment of the activities carried out in the energy sector of Azerbaijan to fulfill its obligations under the Kyoto Protocol and Paris Agreement.
Materials and methods. The fulfillment by the Republic of Azerbaijan of its obligations under the Kyoto Protocol and Paris Agreement is analyzed based on the dynamics of greenhouse gas emissions since 1990. The results of the measures taken are evaluated.
Results. The period after the Paris Agreement has shown the impossibility of maintaining the global temperature increase below 1.5°C, thus requiring implementation of stricter measures. The 29th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Climate Change held in Azerbaijan demonstrated that developed countries do not intend to intensify their efforts. This is evidenced by adding one more day to the schedule of the conference, assigned to solving the financial issue. Conclusion. The firm position of the Azerbaijani side and the support of the non-aligned states forced the developed countries to approve the allocation of the necessary financial support.
