This report provides a high-level assessment of Azerbaijan’s water security status across different water security dimensions (endowment, sector architecture, performance and outcomes) with the aim of highlighting where efforts should be focused to increase the resilience of the water sector now and in the future. The assessment focuses on identifying the key water security challenges, risks, and opportunities, following the One-Water Methodology. It responds to key questions such as: why does water security matter for Azerbaijan? What risks threaten its water security currently and in the light of future climate change? How is its performance constrained or enabled? What areas require special attention to overcome existing gaps and enhance water security in Azerbaijan? The findings in this report provide a high-level picture of Azerbaijan’s water security but also offers a general set of recommendations for action, including water security areas where comprehensive analysis is required to identify leverage points, and sector investment plans.
