The Ministry of Digital Development and Transport of the Republic of Azerbaijan (MDDT) has announced the events it will organize within the framework of the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29).
These events include a high-level roundtable on “Green Digital Action”, a ministerial roundtable on “Green Urban Transport”, “Sustainable Digital Middle Corridor and Beyond”, and a high-level panel discussion on “International Aviation and Climate Change”.
The high-level roundtable on “Green Digital Action”, which will take place on 16 November as part of the Science, Technology and Innovation/Digitalization Day, will focus on issues related to the impact of digital technologies on combating climate change. The roundtable will cover topics such as “Integrating digital innovation into climate strategies”, “Improving climate monitoring and adaptation through digital tools”, “Addressing the environmental impacts of digitalization”, “Showcasing successful sustainability initiatives”, and “Enabling future collaboration to align digital transformation with global climate goals”.
The ministerial roundtable on “Green Urban Transport”, which will take place on 20 November within the framework of the Urbanization, Tourism and Transport Day, will focus on a thematic in-depth study on “Greening Urban Transport”. The event will enable collaborative planning between countries, the development of sustainable infrastructure and the inclusion of sustainability in countries’ policies. The roundtable is expected to develop effective strategies for integrating sustainable urban transport into national, regional and city planning frameworks. The event will also foster closer cooperation among stakeholders and governments to accelerate the decarbonization of urban transport.
The next roundtable on “Sustainable Digital Middle Corridor and Beyond”, which will be held during the Urbanization, Tourism and Transport Day, will discuss recent advancements and future initiatives related to promoting sustainability and digitalization in the Middle Corridor and in other corridors globally. The event will bring together ministers and heads of organizations from the region and beyond.
The roundtable will serve as a high-level platform for in-depth discussions on the development of sustainable and reliable transport networks. At the same time, it will enhance regional cooperation to improve interoperability and combat climate change.
A high-level panel discussion on “International Aviation and Climate Change” will be co-organized by the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport, Ministry of Energy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The event will bring together ministers, government officials, industry leaders and stakeholders to engage in meaningful dialogue on the most recent advancements in the decarbonization of international aviation.
The international aviation sector accounts for nearly 2.0% of total global CO2 emissions, which are relatively small compared to other sectors, but projected to increase in the near future. As the demand for air travel continues to surge, these emissions are expected to rise significantly unless decisive and proactive measures are implemented to curb them.
It should be noted that it is impossible to find a reliable alternative to liquid fuels in the aviation sector in the near future. Thus, there is a need for urgent global action to accelerate the global scale up in development and deployment of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), low-carbon aviation fuels (LCAF), and other cleaner energy sources in order to achieve the long-term global aspirational goal for international aviation (LTAG). The event is aligned with ICAO long-term global aspirational goal of achieving Net-Zero Carbon Emissions by 2050 for international aviation.
