The National Leader of the Turkmen people and Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, presented Turkmenistan’s third initiative at the plenary session of the COP31 Leaders’ Summit. This was reported by the news agency ‘Turkmenistan: Golden age’.

The proposal envisages the development of a Digital Atlas of Climate Change and its Adverse Effects. The project is planned to be implemented in collaboration with the United Nations Environment Programme, the World Meteorological Organisation, the United Nations Development Programme, the World Economic Forum and other interested international partners.

The atlas is intended to serve as an information and analytical tool for monitoring climate change, assessing the associated risks and developing measures to adapt to the new conditions.
