Information to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) on the Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

This Information to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) on the Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) of the Republic of Azerbaijan is a multi-sectoral policy document at national level. The INDC outlines a target: by 2030 the Republic of Azerbaijan targets 35% reduction in the level of greenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990/base year as its contribution to the global climate change efforts.
Mitigation measures will be taken in the agricultural sector, including: Collect methane gas from manure of livestock and poultry, use of alternative sources of energy and modern technologies. For the Land Use, Land-Use Change, and Forestry (LULUCF) sector, the INDC proposed the following mitigation measures: plant new forest areas, water and land protecting forest strips (windbreaks), urban and roadside greenery as well as further improve the management of pastures and agricultural lands. In order to reduce vulnerability of Azerbaijan towards climate change impacts, it is considered to develop relevant adaptation measures for decreasing or minimizing the losses that may occur at national, local and community levels per sector.
