The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) has announced its readiness to expand its support for Turkmenistan in implementing projects aimed at developing a green economy. The organization said this in a comment to the Trend news agency.

According to GGGI, cooperation between Turkmenistan and the institute is expected to move towards more practical areas in the future. Work is also continuing on the conclusion of the Host Country Agreement (HCA) between the parties.

Once the necessary institutional measures are completed and an official request is received from Turkmenistan, GGGI may assist in developing new projects in line with the country’s national priorities and in creating the necessary conditions for their financing. The institute also intends to provide support in increasing resilience to climate change and strengthening professional and institutional capacities in relevant areas.

Priority areas of cooperation include the development of renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, creating sustainable infrastructure and attracting green investments.

According to GGGI, regional events to be held in September with the participation of the Republic of Korea and Central Asian countries will also provide an opportunity to strengthen cooperation in green development. During these meetings, the parties plan to identify specific areas for future joint initiatives.

According to the institute, the main objective of the cooperation is to achieve practical results by combining international experience with Turkmenistan’s national economic and environmental priorities. Such an approach could contribute to creating new investment opportunities and expanding the scope of sustainable development projects.

GGGI’s Country Program for Turkmenistan for 2025–2026 places particular emphasis on developing renewable energy, improving energy efficiency and diversifying the green economy. It also aims to mobilize financial resources for climate-related projects and strengthen institutional capacity for sustainable development.

In 2026, representatives of Turkmenistan and GGGI held several meetings in Seoul to discuss future areas of cooperation. The parties continue working on the Host Country Agreement, which will establish the legal and institutional framework for GGGI’s long-term operations in Turkmenistan.

Headquartered in Seoul, GGGI is an intergovernmental organization established in 2012 at the initiative of the Republic of Korea to support green growth and sustainable solutions related to climate change. The institute currently cooperates with more than 50 countries and partner countries in various areas.
