“The strategic goal of the New Uzbekistan is to ensure environmental sustainability and economic growth through the transition to a resource-saving, “green” development model. That is why 2025 has been declared the Year of Environmental Protection and the “Green” Economy in Uzbekistan. We have developed a long-term Low-Carbon Development Strategy and a National Green Financing Program. In the next five years, we will increase the “green” components in investment projects to 50%,” the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan said.
We have developed a long-term Low Carbon Development Strategy and a National Green Financing Programme.
In the next five years, we will increase the “green” components in investment projects to 50 percent.
We will introduce national systems for monitoring greenhouse gas emissions and trading emission quotas. By 2030, we intend to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 35 percent and continually increase this figure.
Within the framework of the “Yashil Makon” program, at least 30 percent of urban areas in the country will be greened. We are also systematically working to cover 100% of our agriculture with water-saving technologies.
“Currently, more than 50 major projects worth over $26 billion are being implemented together with foreign partners to produce a total of 24 gigawatts of electricity. By 2030, we plan to increase the share of renewable energy sources in our country to 54%. Today, “green” development in Uzbekistan has been raised to the level of a nationwide movement. We intend to further strengthen regional cooperation in this area and turn Central Asia into one of the centers for the development of a “green” economy and “clean energy,” the president said.
“Together with today’s organizer of the global summit, the Masdar company, we have commissioned 5 power generation facilities with a total capacity of 1.5 gigawatts. In addition, 3 projects will be implemented to create generating capacities of 1.6 gigawatts, and energy storage systems with a capacity of about 520 megawatt-hours will be built. We are implementing similar projects together with other leading companies from the Emirates, as well as partners from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey and China,” the president emphasized.
called on leading scientific centers, experts and scientists participating in our forum to actively cooperate with the Green University opened in Tashkent in the implementation of research and innovation programs;
proposed to create an International Research Network to Combat Land Degradation and Desertification on the basis of this university;
expressed readiness to begin practical work to combat the negative consequences of global climate change, in particular, the creation of an International Center for the Assessment of Damage and Losses Caused by Climate Change, ensuring the safety of river ecosystems and the establishment of a Regional Hub for the implementation of water-saving technologies, and the formation of a bank of plant genetic resources.
“The new Uzbekistan on the path of sustainable and “green” development is open to the whole world, and we call on you for broad practical cooperation,” the head of state concluded.
