It is very significant that issues such as decarbonisation, increasing green energy forms, as well as affordable and safe energy supplies, which have become a global challenge, are at the top of the agenda of this year’s Energy Week dialogue. At the same time, the Baku Energy Forum has continued the tradition of the Caspian Oil and Gas Conference, which has gained the status of a major event in the energy sector and expanded its agenda with new energy segments.ILHAM ALIYEV
