Climate Action Policy

Carbon Emission Standards in Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan follows international climate agreements such as the Paris Agreement and implements local regulations for monitoring greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Some relevant national and international standards include:

• ISO 14064-1: Standard for measuring and reporting GHG emissions.
• Azerbaijan’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs): A commitment to reducing GHG emissions by 35% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels.
• Law on Environmental Protection of Azerbaijan: Establishes emission control policies and sustainability measures for industries and institutions.
• State Program on Renewable Energy: Encourages universities to transition to green energy sources, impacting their carbon footprint calculations.

By aligning carbon footprint calculations with these standards, universities in Azerbaijan, including Baku Engineering University (BEU), can improve their sustainability efforts and contribute to national climate goals.
