Tajikistan intends to become a «green country» by 2037. To
achieve this, the country plans to fully transition to renewable energy
production within seven years, as announced by President Emomali Rahmon at the
UN Climate Conference (COP29) in Baku. Currently, 98 percent of Tajikistan’s
electricity is generated by hydropower plants. Additionally, the country is
among those with the lowest carbon dioxide emissions. Tajikistan also places
special emphasis on the issue of glacier melting. The UN General Assembly has
supported the country’s initiative to preserve glaciers. The year 2025 has been
declared the «International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation», and a Trust Fund
for their protection has been established. In Dushanbe, under the auspices of
the World Meteorological Organization and in cooperation with other partners,
there is a proposal to create a Regional Coordination Center for Glaciology.
This center aims to intensify efforts to address climate challenges.
