Climate-monitoring networks in Azerbaijan are still insufficiently developed, comprehensive and reliable data is missing as well as there is a lack of harmonised methodologies for undertaking climate change related assessments, including Vulnerability Impact Assessment (VIA) studies.

Often the operation of waste collection and transport technology is too expensive, so that the poor cannot pay for the service. As a result waste is accumulating on the streets and presents a potential health risk for the people.
