On June 17, 2024, Prof. Isa Habibbayli, President of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences(ANAS), and his delegation visited the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) for in-depth discussions on addressing climate change, scientific and technological exchanges and green development cooperation. Both sides have signed a strategic cooperation agreement on actively participating in global climate governance and other issues.
This visit is to welcome the 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference (UNFCCC COP29) to be held in Baku in November 2024, and aims to deepen cooperation between China and Azerbaijan in addressing climate change, scientific and technology exchange, and green development.
Prof. HUANG Wenjiang from the Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) delivered a keynote speech on the research conducted in cooperation with CBCGDF on global food security monitoring and disaster risk prediction such as pests and diseases. Prof. HUANG introduced that his team’s research mainly uses scientific technologies such as remote sensing to monitor environmental biodiversity, major disaster monitoring and early warning, and carbon emission monitoring and evaluation. Through cooperation with international organizations and relevant departments such as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Group on Earth Observations (GEO), the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), and CABI, global monitoring of biodiversity and major disasters is carried out, and research results and scientific data are shared and promoted globally.
At the end of the discussion, Prof. HUANG Wenjiang expressed the hope of further deepening cooperation with the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences in the future, and through the joint efforts of both sides, scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation will be carried out in addressing climate change with technology projects and personnel exchanges.
