Aksoltan Ataeva, Permanent Representative of Turkmenistan to the United Nations introduced a proposal to set up a climate change centre specifically for Central Asia.
The centre with a UN mandate could carry out monitoring and could provide an objective analysis of the environmental processes occurring in the region and on that basis would be able to issue relevant recommendations to the governments of Central Asian States.
“The vision for the functions and the directions of all the activities of the centre already exist, and Turkmenistan is ready to provide for the centre all necessary infrastructure in Turkmenistan and to ensure the most favourable conditions for the work of the staff there,” Ataeva said during UN General Assembly.
Ataeva stressed that there is a need to adopt concrete targeted measures aimed at supporting States and regions in which, due to various circumstances, issues of sustainable development are especially acute. This project, which would create conditions for successful integration into modern global processes, would lead to stronger inter-continental partnerships.
