NAKHCHIVAN, Azerbaijan, February 13. Energy
Days are planned to be held in Azerbaijan within the framework of
the Covenant of Mayors this year, Local Sustainable Development
Coordinator of the Covenant of Mayors, Maksym Vereshchak, said at
an event on the Covenant of Mayors-Eastern Partnership (CoM East)
initiative in Nakhchivan today, Trend reports.
He emphasized that another upcoming event within the Covenant of
Mayors is the Energy Days 2026.
"Usually, cities organize these events within the framework of
the European Sustainable Energy Week. We'll probably garner ideas
for events and activities that you would like to hold in your
cities by the end of March. We can support you with some prizes for
competitions that may be organized within the framework of the
Energy Days, provide methodological assistance, and share the
experiences of other cities. This is a good opportunity to promote
energy efficiency at the local level.
Moreover, this year we'll organize a large conference with the
participation of more than 200 participants, including Azerbaijan.
We are talking about a conference in Moldova in May of this year on
the 15th anniversary of the establishment of the Covenant of
Mayors," the initiative's coordinator explained.
Vereshchak noted that the number of municipalities signing the
Covenant of Mayors in Azerbaijan is expected to increase.
"We want the number of municipalities committed to the Covenant
of Mayors to increase, and we are ready to help municipalities in
their first steps to join this initiative. The next step is to
assist in the preparation of a Sustainable Energy and Climate
Action Plan (SECAP), which is one of the key commitments of
cities," he added.
