During his speech at the Third United Nations Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDC 3), President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov proposed an initiative to create a global programme for the transition to hydrogen energy for 2030–2040. This was reported by Arzuw.news.

The Head of State proposed to start discussing mechanisms for forming a hydrogen energy programme within the UN as early as 2026, emphasising Turkmenistan's readiness to actively participate in the development of this area and expand international cooperation in the field of renewable energy sources.

Serdar Berdimuhamedov drew attention to the importance of compliance with international environmental standards and climate agreements by all participants in the global energy system — producers, transit countries and consumers of energy resources.

In his speech, the President also recalled the earlier initiative to develop a global framework programme for the transition to a circular economy, emphasising that Turkmenistan consistently advocates the creation of an environmentally sustainable production model that contributes to the preservation of the environment.
