Uzbekistan and the Green Climate Fund are strengthening ties after talks in Tashkent, as both sides discussed joint climate projects and the Fund’s plan to establish a regional presence, though its location remains undecided.
Uzbek Prime Minister Abdulla Aripov met with Green Climate Fund (GCF) Executive Director Mafalda Duarte in Tashkent to explore deeper cooperation on climate initiatives, with discussions centering on climate action, green development, and regional engagement.
During the meeting at the Cabinet of Ministers, Duarte praised Uzbekistan’s economic progress and environmental reforms under President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, specifically highlighting the “Uzbekistan 2030” strategy for its ambitious goals in green finance, sustainability, and climate resilience.
“These objectives are not only crucial for Uzbekistan but can also serve as a model for other nations,” Duarte said, applauding the country’s data-driven approach to tackling climate challenges.
The discussions focused on expanding bilateral cooperation through joint programs on climate change mitigation and adaptation, including sustainable land use, afforestation, and environmental restoration in the Aral Sea region.
A key topic was the Green Climate Fund Board’s recent agreement to establish a regional presencea move intended to improve coordination and accelerate project implementation in Central Asia. While Uzbekistan expressed interest in hosting such a presence, it is important to clarify that no final decision has been made regarding the exact form or location of this regional presence.
The two sides also discussed potential joint educational initiatives, including collaboration with Uzbekistan’s newly established Green University to build local and regional capacity for climate action.
