The National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan, Hero-Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, took part in the plenary session of Summit of the Leaders at the 31st Conference of the parties to the UN Framework convention on climate change (COP31). During his speech, he put forward new global proposals aimed at strengthening international cooperation in the environmental sphere.
As the Hero-Arkadag emphasised, Turkmenistan is putting forward a number of specific initiatives to consolidate the efforts of the international community in addressing climate issues and to provide impetus for partnership.
The first of these is to propose that the United Nations consider declaring 2028-2037 the Decade of climate resilience and adaptation.
According to the Turkmen side, this measure will make it possible for states to focus on addressing practical tasks related to enhancing climate resilience, as well as to ensure the targeted and efficient allocation of resources to the world’s most vulnerable regions.
