Interestingly, if the temperature in the planet increases to 2 degrees, what happens in different places? The most dangerous places are the Indian-Chinese Peninsula, Japan, India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, parts of the United States, parts of Canada and the Gulf of Mexico, parts of Europe and places with shores and large water sources. The danger is that the majority of the population resides in the oceanside and on the islands.

It should be noted that climate change and its consequences have shown itself in Azerbaijan. For 100 years the temperature in Azerbaijan has risen to 0.7-0.8 degrees.

Anomalous climate variability, landslides occurring in the western part of the country, and flood of Kur and Araz rivers reveal the emergence of new dangerous air cycles on the Earth. Developing countries are vulnerable. Developing countries have less income, that’s why developing countries are more exposed to climate change impacts than developed countries and have fewer opportunities to adapt to these effects. Fortunately, Azerbaijan is located in the continental part of Eurasia continent. Therefore, the effects of disasters, severe hurricanes, floods and deluges in the world are not so strong. That is, the effects are weakened until they come to Azerbaijan. And there are no impacts in the country. But, despite this, there are a lot of complications. For example, deluges and floods. This year the country suffered from it. As a result, there was salinization and desertification. The winds are stronger than ever before.

One of the consequences of climate change will be the forecast of the Caspian Sea up to 2100. This, in its turn, can lead to floods in the area of Caspian Sea.

Let us note that, like other developing countries of the world, Azerbaijan participates in joint struggle against the negative impact of climate change and has joined the various international conventions and protocols. For example, Azerbaijan joined the Kyoto Protocol in 2000, which regulates the climate change situation.
