Results of Baku-driven "Harmoniya" climate initiative for farmers to be presented at COP30

The results of the "Baku Harmoniya Climate Initiative" for Farmers will be presented at this year's UN climate conference in Brazil. 

Leyla Jabbarli, Deputy Chair of the Agricultural Credit and Development Agency under the Ministry of Agriculture of Azerbaijan has announced this while speaking at an event dedicated to the Framework Document on Cooperation for Sustainable Development (2026-2030) between the UN and Azerbaijan on January 31, Caliber.Az reports. 

The "Baku Harmoniya Climate Initiative" for Farmers is one of the 14 global initiatives that had been adopted for the previous conference, the COP29 that Baku hosted in November 2024. It's aim is to expand the opportunities of rural communities, women and youth and increase the resilience of agriculture to climate change. According to the COP29 President, Azerbaijan's Minister of Environment Mukhtar Babayev, sustainable agricultural development will play an important role in combating climate change at the local and global levels within the framework of the "Harmoniya" initiative. Jabbarli emphasized that work is currently underway to achieve all the goals of this initiative.

As Caliber.Az recalls, the COP29 conference in Baku managed to persuade developed nations to agree to assist in collecting at least $300 billion a year to be provided to developing countries by 2035 to support their efforts to deal with climate change. Other notable outputs that were agreed upon in the course of the conference were the COP29 Declaration on Water for Climate Action, endorsed by almost 50 countries, and the full operationalization of the Loss and Damage Fund, long awaited by developing countries.
