Azerbaijan, 1 Jul 2015 A demonstration project, supported by UNEP, for replacing inefficient public street lights was launched in Azerbaijan’s capital of Baku on 1 June 2015. The project, which will see some 600 LED lamps replacing public street lights in Icherisheher, provides an example of how this historic reserve could go on to take a major step towards achieving its 2020 climate goal.
The move to replace inefficient street lights with LED ones comes under one of the ambitious climate action plans that UNEP is coordinating as part of the European Commission’s ‘Covenant of Mayors (COMO) Going East’ programme. Icherisheher has been a signatory to COMO since 2012.
