The National Leader of the Turkmen people and Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, took part in the plenary session of the COP31 Leaders’ Summit, where he presented Turkmenistan’s initiative to strengthen international cooperation on climate issues. This was reported by the news agency ‘Turkmenistan: Golden age’.

Turkmenistan has proposed that the United Nations consider declaring 2028–2037 the Decade of Climate Resilience and Adaptation. The initiative aims to unite the efforts of states in tackling climate challenges.

According to the Turkmen side, such a measure would help to step up practical work on enhancing resilience to climate change and ensure a more targeted allocation of resources to the world’s most vulnerable regions.
