For this reason, environmental responsibility and the efficient use of natural resources is increasingly critical in the context of global ecological challenges. This study aims to explore the modern features of nature use and environmental responsibility within Azerbaijan, particularly in light of the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP-29) on climate change. It is emphasized the need for comprehensive legal-normative measures to combat water pollution and promote environmental education. It is highlighted some strategies to fight environmental pollution, such as water reuse, the application of advanced cleaning technologies, and the establishment of organizational measures for water distribution. Furthermore, the concept of "water diplomacy" is highlighted as a vital element of international relations, particularly in regions facing water scarcity. The inference of our findings is that only an integrated approach to environmental responsibility through scientific, economic, and ecological norms can give birth to sustainable development. Therefore, we advocate for a paradigm shift in how natural resources are perceived and utilized, promoting a sustainable and responsible approach to environmental stewardship in Azerbaijan and beyond.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[RESUMEN A pesar de la enorme riqueza de los recursos naturales mundiales, su uso desenfrenado ha provocado un grave deterioro ambiental. Por esta razón, la responsabilidad ambiental y el uso eficiente de los recursos naturales son cada vez más críticos en el contexto de los desafíos ecológicos globales. Este estudio tiene como objetivo explorar las características modernas del uso de la naturaleza y la responsabilidad ambiental en Azerbaiyán, en particular a la luz de la 29ª sesión de la Conferencia de las Partes (COP-29) sobre el cambio climático. Se enfatiza la necesidad de medidas jurídicas y normativas integrales para combatir la contaminación del agua y promover la educación ambiental. Se destacan algunas estrategias para luchar contra la contaminación ambiental, como la reutilización del agua, la aplicación de tecnologías avanzadas de limpieza y el establecimiento de medidas organizativas para la distribución del agua. Además, se destaca el concepto de "diplomacia del agua" como un elemento vital de las relaciones internacionales, en particular en las regiones que enfrentan escasez de agua. La inferencia de los hallazgos aquí presentados, es que solo un enfoque integrado de la responsabilidad ambiental a través de normas científicas, económicas y ecológicas puede dar lugar al desarrollo sostenible. Por lo tanto, se aboga por un cambio de paradigma en cómo se perciben y utilizan los recursos naturales, promoviendo un enfoque sostenible y responsable de la gestión ambiental en Azerbaiyán y más allá.]]></p></abstract>
