Over the past two decades, the Republic of Azerbaijan has adopted three national strategy programs in order to accelerate the social and economic development of the country's regions. The primary objectives of these national strategies have been ecological safety and responsible use of natural resources, sustainable and balanced development as well as social welfare. In contrast to the
previous programs implemented by the state, the new strategy includes the United Nations’ principles of sustainable development goals that were formulated in “Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”.

Therefore, this article analyzes the environmental and socio-economic activities that are
integral to the newly adopted state program on Disaster Risk Reduction strategies and suggests further measures that could be taken improve the effectiveness of its implementation.
