Green Economy Scoping Study: Azerbaijan

The objective of this study is to provide a scoping exercise for the Republic of Azerbaijan (ROA) on how it can transition its key sectors of energy, agriculture and transportation onto a green economy pathway. These sectors are chosen because of their central importance to the Azerbaijan’s economy, their contribution to greenhouse gas emissions and the importance of their long-term viability for the protection of social and environmental needs of the country. The scoping study can be used as a tool by the ROA in formulating policy development in these sectors and in enabling the continued transition of the country’s economy.
