Uzbekistan to become member of "Partnership for Green Growth and Global Goals"

International organizations are now expressing their full readiness to back up recently adopted special resolution of the UN General Assembly on declaring the Aral Sea region a zone of environmental innovations and technologies. This was part of the second International Summit "Partnership for Green Growth and Global Goals - 2030", held virtually on Sunday with the participation of the Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev.

The two-day forum was organized in a bid to overcome the consequences of climate change, "green" recovery and ensuring carbon neutrality. President of Uzbekistan shared his vision of the prospects for international cooperation in the field of "green" recovery.

Overcoming the global consequences of the Aral Sea disaster was on the spotlight. It was proposed to continue active joint work in this direction within the framework of the specially created UN Trust Fund, the Global Green Growth Institute, on the platform of the P4G Partnership and other international institutions.

Uzbekistan's commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 under the Paris Agreement was reaffirmed. The widespread introduction of "green" technologies and the implementation of projects in the field of "green" energy in Uzbekistan would allow to increase the share of renewable energy sources by more than 3 times in the next ten years.

Following the event, Uzbekistan expressed its readiness to become member of P4G Partnership.
