An ecological action dedicated to June 5 – World Environment Day
was held in Dashkesen “Caring for nature is our mission!”, jointly
organized by “AzerGold” CJSC and the Regional Development Public
Union (RIIB).
Employees of the CJSC and volunteers of RIIB participated in the
event, which aimed to promote environmental protection and proper
waste management practices.
Within the framework of the campaign, participants cleaned
approximately 2 hectares along the banks of the Qoshgarchay river,
removing plastic, polyethylene, metal, glass, paper, cardboard, and
other household waste. The collected waste was sorted and sent for
recycling.
It should be noted that “AzerGold” CJSC, as a state-owned
company operating in the country’s mining industry, carries out its
production processes in accordance with local and international
environmental standards and regularly implements environmentally
oriented projects in the regions. At the initiative of the company,
tree planting, greening, and cleanup campaigns are organized
annually.
It should also be noted that World Environment Day was
established by the UN General Assembly in 1972. The UN Environment
Programme (UNEP) has designated “Climate Change” as the theme for
2026. This year’s global campaign, hosted by Azerbaijan, aims to
raise awareness of the impacts of climate change on the environment
and people’s lives, strengthen climate action, and promote
sustainable development initiatives. The campaign is carried out
under the motto #NowForClimate.
