BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 23. Energy is
currently not only an economic resource but also a fundamental
factor determining the strategic security and ecological stability
of nations, Chairman of Azerbaijan's Parliamentary Committee on
Natural Resources, Energy, and Ecology Sadig Gurbanov said during a
roundtable event on the occasion of the International Clean Energy
Day at ADA University today, Trend reports.


He pointed out that clean energy includes sources that leave a
light footprint on the environment, cut down greenhouse gas
emissions significantly, and promise lasting sustainability in
energy production.


"However, according to modern scientific approaches, the concept
of clean energy goes beyond the production phase. Efficient use of
energy, improving energy efficiency, and minimizing resource risks
are inseparable and complementary elements of this concept. This is
exactly the comprehensive approach that is clearly reflected in
Azerbaijan’s national legislative system," Gurbanov explained.


The MP highlighted that a key focus in the realm of clean energy
is the announcement of Karabakh and Eastern Zangezur as a green
energy zone.


"The Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic is also an important part of
this strategy. This decision should be regarded as an exemplary
model aimed at establishing ecological, innovative, and
energy-efficient foundations for the post-war recovery and
reconstruction processes. As a result, Clean Energy Day is an
important platform that embodies the ideological, scientific, and
legal foundations of a new phase in Azerbaijan’s energy policy," he
underlined.







A roundtable discussion and an award ceremony of the Clean
Energy Center of the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) Clean
Energy Hackathon 2026 are being held in Baku on the occasion of the
International Clean Energy Day.


The event features a roundtable discussion and an award ceremony
on the topic of transition to clean energy and regional cooperation
models to accelerate the expansion of renewable energy.
