Building Climate Resilient Cities and Communities in the Republic of Azerbaijan

The project seeks to address the repercussions of the primary environmental hazards identified, mitigating their influence on both human settlements and the surrounding natural environment: (i) fluctuations in sea levels and potential decrease; (ii) heightened occurrences of floods; (iii) more intense drought conditions; and (iv) increased heat in the Caspian Sea coasts, with a specific focus on Azerbaijan. Adaptation measures for these primary hazards will be examined in conjunction with ongoing urbanization processes, employing an integrated approach to spatial and coastal planning, innovation, knowledge sharing, access to resources, and management capacity.
