Kazakhstan is set to hold the first UN Regional Climate Summit in 2026. The summit aims to address Central Asia’s current challenges due to climate change, including rising temperatures, melting glaciers and desertification. Kazakh Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Murat Nurtleu announced this at the Summit of the Future held during the 79th session of the UN General Assembly. According to him, Central Asia might be more affected by global warming than other regions by 2050.
«In addition, we propose to open the UN Regional
Center on Sustainable Development for Central Asia and Afghanistan to further
enhance coordination on SDG deliverables. I am confident that with the right
support, this idea will serve as a future role model for UN development mechanisms.
Furthermore, Kazakhstan calls on all technologically advanced countries to
eliminate barriers and commit necessary resources to assist climate-vulnerable
communities,» said Kazakh
Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Murat Nurtleu.
