- 2.2 Revision of the NBSAP to incorporate the Aichi Biodiversity targets
- Strategy Development
Climate change is one of the serious factors functionally affecting ecosystems and eventually causing decline in biodiversity. The analysis of possible climate changes in the territory of Azerbaijan were studied on the basis of 100 years observations. Studies suggested that during 100 year of observations, the air temperature increased 0.5-0.6°C in the territory of the country, and the rise of air temperature was even higher in 1961-1990 - 0.3-0.6°C.
Desertification process will speed up in Azerbaijan. As the initial stage of the inventory process of GHG (Greenhouse gasses) is already completed by the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources, preliminary analysis of emission dynamics has been conducted. Total volume of emissions from stationary and mobile sources has continued declining versus to 1990. However, in spite of decline in the volume of emissions from stationary sources, the emissions from mobile sources is increased for 12.7% in comparison with reference year 2010, and for 34,7% in comparison with 2005.
Decline in total volume of wastes was possible through a number of activities implemented in the energy sector. Such activities include practical transition of energy sector to natural gas as fuel, reconstruction of thermal power plants, and construction of new power plants with high energy efficiency, wide-scale application of metering and monitoring devices in the consumption sector and the projects implemented in the field of hydro-power development. New technologies are introduced in oil and gas sector for capturing associated gasses and thus emission of methane gas to air is reduced.
Certain activities were implemented over the last years in terms of climate change adaptations and climate change impact mitigations in the Republic of Azerbaijan.
The main priority for Azerbaijan is adaptation to climate change. Agriculture, optimal management of water resources, restoration of forests, afforestation, conservation and efficient use of agricultural biodiversity in arid and semi-arid zones, struggle against desertification are the main adaptation areas, and relevant works are implemented with participation of NGOs Coming into effect, Kyoto Protocol and one of its mechanisms - “Clean Development Mechanism” enabled negotiations with a number of states in this sphere. Memorandum on collaboration in the area of GHG reduction was signed between Azerbaijan and the Kingdom of Denmark, and works are underway for signing memorandums with Norway, Germany, Japan and a number of other states.
A group of experts representing various fields of economy was established with the co- ordination of Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources with the view of expansion of these activities in the Republic. The projects such as “Use of wind and solar energy” in Pirallahi meteorological station as a demonstration Project, “Restoration of thermal system in Sumgait lyceum”, “Creating woodland consisting of fast-growing tree species for CO 2 absorption and supplying population with wood in Shabran area”, “Replacement of ordinary power bulbs with fluorescent lamps which are their equivalents and use less power” projects were implemented with direct support of Canadian International Development Agency.
Projects on installation of wind, solar and small water power plants are implemented in the country. Activities are implemented for increasing the share of alternative energy in the energy sector to 10-15% in the subsequent years, and to 20% by 2020.
plan, its implementation and the mainstreaming of biodiversity
The National Strategy and Action Plan on Conservation and Sustainable Use of Biodiversity in Azerbaijan (2006) was prepared prior to the adoption of the CBD Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 and is not aligned with the Aichi Biodiversity Targets. Azerbaijan is however currently in the process of revising and updating its’ NBSAP (see 2.2 below) and, as part of this process, will develop measurable targets and indicators that will enable the country to more effectively report on its contribution to meeting the Aichi Biodiversity Targets.
The MENR is also, with the support of the Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), developing a National Biodiversity Monitoring System (NBMS) for Azerbaijan. The first version of the NBMS (2013) defines 20 pressure, state and response indicators, of which 15 are considered as priority indicators for the country. Once fully developed, the NBMS will be integrated into the updated and revised NBSAP for Azerbaijan
In August 2013, Azerbaijan initiated the process of reviewing, revising and updating its NBSAP, with financial and technical support from GEF, UNDP and GIZ. The updated NBSAP will cover the period 2015-2020) and will include the following broad steps:
Stakeholder engagement National stocktaking Conservation technical report Impact management technical report
Mainstreaming technical report Capacity technical report Reporting to CBD
Website development CHM website
Stakeholder engagement Order of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan on approval of the NBSAP (2015- 2020) Goals, strategic themes, outcomes 4.
