The declining water level of the Caspian Sea in recent years is creating increasingly serious environmental, economic, and social risks for coastal communities, ecosystems, transport links, and regional infrastructure, Mukhtar Babayev, the Presidential Representative of Azerbaijan on Climate Issues, said at the 1st General Assembly of the Global South NGO Platform (GSNP).
According to SİA, Babayev noted that more than 55% of the world"s population currently lives in cities, and this figure is projected to reach around 70% by 2050.
"Today, discussions on climate migration are more relevant than ever. According to World Bank projections, if sufficient measures on climate change mitigation and development are not taken, more than 260 million people could be forced to migrate within their own countries by 2050 as a result of climate impacts. This issue is particularly significant for regions facing water scarcity and environmental degradation," he stressed.
