President Ilham Aliyev, as on other issues, maintained an open and sincere dialogue with the international community on this issue, that we do not solve the climate problem on a global scale by talking only in general terms about the green transformation. There are important polluting factors and countries in the world. It is necessary to put aside fake news and propaganda campaigns, the trends and scope of the main polluting factors and the role that countries play. Therefore, the theses of the President of Azerbaijan are one of the directions that determine the main line of discussions, and this, in addition to coinciding with the opinions of the absolute majority of the world, reflects the opinions of developing countries in particular. . “

When the Paris Agreements were reached, the main concept was that States had common but differentiated responsibilities.

That is why the world has high expectations of developed countries to determine today’s financial objectives and make contributions in return,” he said. President. his assistant emphasized.
