Commonwealth, Azerbaijan sign MOU to enhance climate action

The Commonwealth Secretariat and the Government of Azerbaijan have signed a landmark joint declaration in Tonga aimed at enhancing climate action in Small Developing Island States (SIDS) and other vulnerable member countries. 

This historic agreement underscores both parties’ commitment to addressing the urgent challenges posed by climate change, particularly in regions most susceptible to its effects.

As part of this initiative, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) has also been signed between the Azerbaijan Space Agency, Azercosmos, and the Commonwealth Secretariat. This MOU focuses on the utilisation of geospatial information to support climate action across Commonwealth member countries.

By harnessing the power of space technology and geospatial data, this partnership aims to bolster climate resilience, improve disaster preparedness, and support sustainable development.
