The report titled “Belem Mission to 1.5°C”, jointly prepared by Azerbaijan, Brazil, Turkiye and Australia, has been presented to the public on the sidelines of COP31 in Antalya, Turkiye.
Axar.az reports, citing the Climate Issues Delegation of the Republic of Azerbaijan, that the report aims to support countries in implementing their climate commitments and national adaptation plans to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C under the Paris Agreement.
The document was prepared through joint cooperation between Azerbaijan, Brazil, Turkiye and Australia under a mandate given to the COP29, COP30 and COP31 presidencies at COP30, held in Brazil last year.
During its preparation, extensive consultations were held throughout 2026 with governments, international organisations, the private sector and other stakeholders. Discussions took place in cities around the world, including Baku and Shamakhi. In addition, 148 written submissions from various countries and organisations were reviewed.
The report outlines existing solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, strengthen resilience to the impacts of climate change and create new economic opportunities in the energy, industry, agriculture, forestry, ocean, healthcare and urban development sectors.
The document is scheduled to be officially presented at a high-level event in Antalya on November 16, on the sidelines of COP31.
