Azerbaijani Prosecutor General calls on law enforcement to step up in climate action

BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 29.​ Law
enforcement agencies must play a central role in addressing climate
change, Azerbaijani Prosecutor General Kamran Aliyev said during
Baku Climate Action Week (BCAW), Trend reports.

Aliyev underscored that safeguarding the environment and
tackling ecological misdeeds have turned into global headaches that
call for a united front.

“Azerbaijan has consistently raised the issue of involving law
enforcement in the climate agenda on the international stage. At
COP29 in Baku, in partnership with the United Nations Office on
Drugs and Crime and the Ministry of Interior of the UAE, a
high-level session was organized, resulting in the adoption of the
Baku Declaration calling for action,” he said.

He went on to say that the joint projects started in Baku are
still going strong today and that Azerbaijan would shortly present
its expertise at the next COP30 conference in Brazil.
