UN Recognizes Uzbekistan's Climate Ambitions as Exemplary
Economy
Uzbekistan is setting a new pace for ecological transformation in Central Asia: the UN has officially endorsed the republic's updated climate plan. The Secretariat of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) noted that Tashkent's ambitious targets for achieving carbon neutrality will serve as a significant contribution to the global fight against climate change.
The cornerstone of this initiative is the "Third Nationally Determined Contribution" (NDC 3.0), which Uzbekistan presented at the recent COP30 conference in Brazil. Under this new strategy, the country has made an unprecedented commitment: to reduce specific greenhouse gas emissions per unit of GDP by 50% compared to 2010 levels by 2035. The ultimate goal is to achieve full carbon neutrality by 2055.
In a formal letter, UNFCCC Executive Secretary Simon Stiell thanked Uzbekistan's leadership for their heightened climate ambitions. He emphasized that the plan spans nearly every economic sector and aligns with the latest Global Stocktake results. The UN reaffirmed its readiness to provide comprehensive support to Tashkent, paving the way for new international grants and "green" technologies to ensure the republic's sustainable development.
