Adopted in 2022, the Programme on Transition to a Green Economy and Green Growth in the Republic of Uzbekistan until 2030 has set as its main objective:
If the trends observed over the past 20-30 years, such as climate change and the melting of glaciers, continue, the flow of two major rivers—the Amu Darya and Syr Darya, which are the main sources of water for the region—could decrease by 10-15% in the coming years. As a result, water availability per capita and agricultural productivity could drop by 25% from current levels.
President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev, at the invitation of President of the Kyrgyz Republic Sadyr Zhaparov, will pay a working visit to Bishkek on November 5-6 to participate in the events of the next meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Organization of Turkic States.
