In his speech, the Hero-Arkadag emphasized that, in line with its National Climate Strategy, Turkmenistan remains firmly committed to fulfilling the international obligations arising from the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement.
This commitment is focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing energy efficiency and is supported by concrete measures aimed at the widespread adoption of modern environmentally friendly technologies.
An important aspect is the implementation of the Global Methane Pledge. In this regard, a comprehensive set of measures is being carried out to modernize the national energy supply system, to reduce natural gas losses and to improve the monitoring of emissions, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov continued.
Turkmenistan places great importance on improving the reporting and transparency of data concerning the state of the environment. “Our country has prepared its Fourth National Communication on Climate Change and has completed work on an updated version of its Third Nationally Determined Contribution,” the Hero-Arkadag noted.
“We view our national efforts to implement the climate agenda as a key component of regional cooperation. The development of Central Asian countries, across economic, social, environmental, conservation, water-energy and other spheres, is deeply interconnected. We believe that, under these conditions, a comprehensive approach will enable the countries of the region to take into account their mutual interests in order to effectively address existing challenges,” the Head of the Halk Maslahaty stated.
A significant achievement in this regard has been the establishment of a Regional Centre for Climate Change-Related Technologies in Central Asia. As is known, Turkmenistan put forward the initiative to establish this Centre, which received support from the states of the region and international partners.
Speaking from the forum’s podium, the Hero-Arkadag noted that the Regional Centre for Climate Change-Related Technologies in Central Asia is set to begin its activities in early 2027.
