Uzbek Prime Minister Abdulla Aripov met with Green Climate Fund Executive Director Mafalda Duarte to explore deeper cooperation on climate initiatives, including plans to open a regional GCF office in Uzbekistan.
Prime Minister of Uzbekistan Abdulla Aripov held a meeting with Mafalda Duarte, Executive Director of the Green Climate Fund (GCF), at the Cabinet of Ministers in Tashkent. The talks focused on expanding bilateral cooperation in the field of climate action and green development, with a key highlight being the potential establishment of a regional GCF office in Uzbekistan.
During the meeting, Duarte praised the progress achieved through large-scale reforms led by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, noting that all sectors of the Uzbek economy are showing steady development. She particularly highlighted the “Uzbekistan - 2030” strategy, which sets ambitious goals for green finance, environmental sustainability, and climate resilience.
“These objectives are not only crucial for Uzbekistan but can also serve as a model for other nations,” Duarte said, commending the country’s evidence-based approach to addressing climate change.
The two sides held detailed discussions on deepening collaboration to implement joint programs and projects focused on climate change adaptation and mitigation. Duarte and Aripov explored the idea of opening a Green Climate Fund regional office in Uzbekistan, which would enhance coordination and accelerate project implementation across the region.
Other topics included launching innovative afforestation and sustainable land use initiatives, addressing environmental challenges in the Aral Sea region, and ensuring effective use of the Fund’s financial mechanisms. Both parties also considered creating joint educational programs in partnership with the recently established Green University to build national and regional capacity for climate action.
