On October 16, a meeting of members of the Association of Legal Entities “Green Alliance of Kyrgyzstan” was held. The meeting was attended by most members of the Green Alliance, who reviewed the annual report of the Chairman and the executive body. In 2024, there was an internal reorganization of the Green Alliance: 8 committees of different directions were created, the number of Alliance members was reduced due to non-payment of membership fees and lack of support for the activities and general ideas of the Green Alliance. The meeting also considered the following important issues:
· Re-election of a new Chairman of the Green Alliance due to the expiration of the term of the current Chairman;
· Re-election of members of the Management Board due to the expiration of the term of office of the current members of the Management Board;
· Activities of members of the Green Alliance on climate change and environmental protection, building public opinion on environmental violations;
· Other issues related to the activities of the Green Alliance.
