Both sides have signed a strategic cooperation agreement on actively participating in global climate governance and other issues.

 

This visit is to welcome the 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference (UNFCCC COP29) to be held in Baku in November 2024, and aims to deepen cooperation between China and Azerbaijan in addressing climate change, scientific and technology exchange, and green development.

 




Prof. HUANG Wenjiang from the Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) delivered a keynote speech on the research conducted in cooperation with CBCGDF on global food security monitoring and disaster risk prediction such as pests and diseases. Prof. HUANG introduced that his team's research mainly uses scientific technologies such as remote sensing to monitor environmental biodiversity, major disaster monitoring and early warning, and carbon emission monitoring and evaluation. Through cooperation with international organizations and relevant departments such as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Group on Earth Observations (GEO), the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), and CABI, global monitoring of biodiversity and major disasters is carried out, and research results and scientific data are shared and promoted globally.

 

At the end of the discussion, Prof. HUANG Wenjiang expressed the hope of further deepening cooperation with the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences in the future, and through the joint efforts of both sides, scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation will be carried out in addressing climate change with technology projects and personnel exchanges.

Unveiling the Mysteries of Cetaceans in the South China Sea: Chinese Scientists Describe Important Marine Mammal Areas (IMMAs)

Image
The world’s ocean ecosystems are facing mounting threats—climate change, marine pollution, overfishing, and habitat destruction due to human activities, to name a few. These pressures are particularly dangerous for marine mammals like cetaceans, whose survival hinges on healthy habitats and stable populations. Yet, in regions like the South China Sea, where biodiversity is exceptionally high, little research has been done to understand the needs and habitats of cetaceans. This lack of data has left a gap in our knowledge and made it challenging to establish targeted conservation strategies. Recognizing this, Chinese scientists have now set out to fill these gaps and contribute essential data to inform future policy and management, aiming to protect these vulnerable species and support the objectives of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). In a landmark study published on October 8, 2024, in Biological Conservation, Dr. Li Songhai and his team from the Institute of...
