BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 16. TRACECA has
proposed creating a unified tool for verifying digital data in
supply chains.


This was stated in a press release published on the TRACECA
website.


Meanwhile, it is noted that the Permanent Secretariat of the
TRACECA Intergovernmental Committee participated in the business
program “Baku Climate Action Week 2026” (BCAW 2026), expressing
support for the digitalization of transport corridors, trade
facilitation, and the implementation of environmentally sustainable
(“green”) transport principles: “Throughout the week, leading
experts, representatives of government agencies, international
development institutions, and the private sector discussed
practical solutions in key areas of the climate agenda.”


“During sessions dedicated to the implementation of artificial
intelligence and the rollout of solutions under the Green Digital
Action initiative, participants emphasized the critical importance
of transitioning to paperless technologies, automating procedures,
and reducing the carbon footprint of transportation and logistics
infrastructure. In addition, issues of multimodal connectivity and
regional cooperation were addressed, including the integration of
renewable energy sources, the transformation of port and rail hubs
into sustainable logistics clusters, and the adaptation of the
Caspian region’s infrastructure to climate change.


The experts paid particular attention to climate finance, the
development of carbon markets, the use of cross-border renewable
energy certificates (RECs), and the promotion of investments in
sustainable transport corridors," TRACECA notes.







According to the report, TRACECA representatives reaffirmed the
Secretariat’s commitment to developing unified digital ecosystems,
including UN/CEFACT standards and the Maritime Single Window, as
well as to reducing cargo dwell time at borders, which directly
contributes to lowering greenhouse gas emissions along the entire
Europe-Caucasus-Asia corridor.


"During UNFCCC Climate Week 4 (CW4), the Implementation Forum
paid special attention to issues of information reliability. As
part of the Implementation Lab, a session titled “Ensuring the
Reliability of Climate Change Information and the Impact of
Artificial Intelligence” was held, focusing on countering
misinformation regarding climate change and the role of artificial
intelligence as a tool for enhancing data transparency.


During the discussions and the question-and-answer session,
Vadim Ponomarenko, Head of the Policy Development and Monitoring
Division at the Permanent Secretariat of the TRACECA
Intergovernmental Committee, noted the growing challenges
associated with verifying digital content amid the development of
generative artificial intelligence and emphasized their direct link
to the digitization of logistics processes. According to him, there
is a growing need for reliable mechanisms to verify the
authenticity of data between participating countries and carriers,”
TRACECA reports.


In addition, it is emphasized that, as a practical initiative,
it was proposed to consider the possibility of creating a single,
reliable tool for the independent verification of the authenticity
of digital materials in supply chains.
