BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 24. On 24 February
2026, a memorandum of cooperation (MoC) was signed between the
WUF13 Azerbaijan Operations Company and AzerEnerji Open Joint-Stock
Company by Balababa Rzayev, Chairman of the Management Board of
AzerEnerji OJSC, and Adil Mammadov, Executive Director of the WUF13
Azerbaijan Operations Company, Trend reports via the organizing committee.
The memorandum aims to ensure that the event venue is powered by
green energy throughout WUF13. The initiative will help translate
the Forum’s commitments to carbon management and emissions
reduction into practical action, as well as curb the environmental
footprint associated with the event’s energy consumption.
The low-carbon energy solutions to be rolled out as part of
WUF13 show that large-scale international events can be delivered
in a more environmentally responsible and sustainable way. At the
same time, the partnership stands as a tangible example of how
sustainable event management can be successfully integrated into
the national energy infrastructure.
The Thirteenth Session of the World Urban Forum (WUF13), to be
held in Baku from 17 to 22 May, is among the leading international
platforms focused on sustainable urban development and the
efficient use of resources, offering a key opportunity to showcase
innovative approaches and practical solutions. In this context, the
adoption of green energy solutions reinforces an environmentally
responsible approach, fully aligned with the principles of
sustainable event delivery.
The partnership once again underlines Azerbaijan’s commitment to
its strategic priorities in green energy and sustainable
development, while reinforcing the country’s growing role as a
leader in delivering environmentally responsible international
events.
