"Turkmenistan and the UN: New Steps Toward Sustainable Development"
Turkmenistan’s environmental policy has gained widespread recognition on the international stage, with measures implemented to ensure ecological well-being both domestically and globally taking on particular significance. Today, issues of sustainable development, combating climate change, and preserving natural resources are at the forefront, not only as part of the country’s internal policy but also as key directions for international cooperation. To this end, Turkmenistan’s environmental policy for 2022–2052, integrated with modern innovations, holds substantial importance on a global level.
Ecology and Innovation: New Opportunities
During the 2022–2028 period, Turkmenistan is actively introducing advanced technologies into its environmental programs and promoting new initiatives to protect the environment. This program places special emphasis on innovative technologies, ecological safety, and nature conservation. Furthermore, in 2025, Turkmenistan participated in the “EXPO-2025” exhibition in Japan, where it openly declared its principles of cooperation to address environmental challenges on a global scale.
Participation in International Environmental Programs
Turkmenistan actively engages in international sustainable development programs under the auspices of the United Nations, including conventions on climate change and the restoration of the Aral Sea. The country takes key initiatives at the state level to address global environmental issues. Its participation in international conferences dedicated to the ecological state of the Aral and Caspian Seas underscores Turkmenistan’s significance on the world stage. Thus, Turkmenistan positions itself not only as a proponent of environmental policy but also as an active supporter of international cooperation in nature conservation.
Goals for Strengthening Ecological Well-Being
The primary directions of Turkmenistan’s environmental policy focus on nature conservation, combating climate change, and the efficient use of water resources. Ecological well-being and the careful preservation of natural resources are not only Turkmenistan’s objectives but also a global mission aimed at securing a healthy future for humanity. Achieving ecologically sustainable development is not limited to strengthening the domestic economy but is also geared toward improving the quality of life for the population and fostering international cooperation.
