The National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan, Hero-Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, presented third 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 strengthening global cooperation in the environmental sphere, Turkmenistan has proposed the development of a Digital atlas of climate change and its negative consequences. The project is intended to be implemented in collaboration with the UN Environment programme, the World meteorological organisation (WMO), the UN development programme, the World economic forum, and other relevant international partners.
As noted in the presentation, the main goal of the initiative is to create a comprehensive information and analytical tool. It will make it possible to continuously monitor climate change, assess risks and their negative impacts, and develop the most effective measures for adapting to new conditions.
