Representatives of Turkmenistan took part in a seminar to validate - to voice to partners - the agreed-upon measures for the coming year and a report on the work done this year within the framework of the regional program "Climate Risk Management in Central Asia". This was reported by the online publication "Turkmenistan: Golden Age".

The partnership platform is long-term, designed for the specific agro-ecological conditions of Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. It is implemented on the basis of bilateral agreements, in cooperation with government agencies, basin water management associations of the five countries, regional institutions, with the coordinating participation of environmental, water, and land agencies of the five countries. In Turkmenistan, such an institution is the Ministry of Environmental Protection. The German Society for International Cooperation provides overall support for scientific and practical actions.

The participants analyzed the risks of natural disasters and the prevailing climate background of recent years, forecasts for the future, the compliance of measures taken in the countries to reduce the impact of climate consequences with national and regional priorities, needs, and assessed the impact of such phenomena on vulnerable sectors of the economy.

The program is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development and operates for five key river basins in Central Asia, focusing on people, their needs to improve their own prospects and living conditions.
