On 9 November 2026, the Chairman of the Committee for Environmental Protection under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan, Sheralizoda Bahodur Ahmadjon, and the Director of the Agency for Hydrometeorology, Qurbonzoda Abdullo Khabibullo, participated in the official opening ceremony of the 31st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP31), held in Antalya, Republic of Türkiye.
It should be noted that this high-level international event is being held with the participation of representatives of States Parties to the Convention, international organizations, scientific institutions, civil society and the private sector. The conference aims to explore ways to strengthen international cooperation on climate change, fulfil climate commitments and enhance measures to adapt to its impacts.
Key issues on the conference agenda include reducing greenhouse gas emissions, adapting to the impacts of climate change, climate finance, the development of modern technologies, strengthening institutional capacity and enhancing transparency in the implementation of international climate commitments.
For the Republic of Tajikistan, which possesses significant water and glacial resources while remaining highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, active participation in such international events is of particular importance. In particular, glacier preservation, ensuring water security, preventing hazardous hydrometeorological events, introducing modern monitoring technologies and developing early warning systems are among the country's priority areas for international cooperation on climate change.
Participation in the events held within the framework of the 31st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP31) provides favourable opportunities to exchange international experience, expand cooperation with relevant organizations and scientific institutions, mobilize technical and financial resources, and present the priority areas of the Republic of Tajikistan in the field of climate change adaptation.
