The National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan, Hero-Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, presented fifth initiative of the country at the plenary session of Summit of the Leaders during the 31st Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework convention on climate change (COP31).
As part of a set of proposals aimed at strengthening global climate cooperation and improving the international legal framework, Turkmenistan has put forward the idea of considering the development of an International environmental code under the auspices of the United Nations.
As noted in the statement, the adoption of such a document will make it possible to systematise and streamline existing international rules, norms, and standards in the areas of environmental protection, combating climate change, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable natural resource management.
