On March 14, an event called ‘Eco talk’ was held in English at Sumgait State University, organized by the Student Scientific Society.

Rector of the university, associate professor Rufat Azizov, opened the event and spoke about the relevance of the theme of the event. He reminded that 2024 has been declared the ‘Year of Solidarity for the Green World’ in our country, and talked about the environmental problems that concern the world and our republic, their causes and ways to solve them. He said that one of the biggest problems of the 21st century is the problems caused by man-made development reaching a larger scale and as a result of this, the pressure on nature is increasing at a high rate. In other words, the role of anthropogenic influences in experiencing the ecological crisis has reached its highest level, which manifests itself in abnormal climate conditions, the increase of natural disasters and the decrease of food production. Most states are now forced to spend a lot of effort to eliminate these consequences. The government of Azerbaijan also implements various measures to solve environmental problems. In this direction, Azerbaijan's hosting of COP 29 in 2024 will contribute to the process of combating climate change at the global level and the green transition process with its successful steps at the national level.

Solmaz Bahramzade, chairman of SSU SSO, ‘Problems in our ecology and their solutions’, Rasul Bayerzade, student of group 355 of the Faculty of Natural Sciences, and Khumar Rzayeva, student of group 944 of the Faculty of Philology, ‘Connecting with Cop 29’, Jalah Aghadadashova, student of group 944a of the Faculty of Philology and Ali Gulamov, a student of the Faculty of Engineering group No. 662a, spoke on the topic of ‘Climate change’. The speakers discussed the structure of modern ecology, the impact of anthropogenic factors on global climate change, land degradation and pollution, desertification and its causes, conceptual proposals on ways to efficiently use Azerbaijan's water resources, food security, anthropogenic effects on the atmosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere, biological pollution of the environment, electromagnetic field and effects of radiation on living organisms, oil pollution, environmental safety and management, major environmental problems of the country, etc. they gave extensive information about the issues.
