The inauguration of the IUCN Representative Office in Tashkent took place during the COP16 conference in Riyadh.
The Ministry of Ecology, Environmental Protection and Climate Change announced that, with the support of the Uzbekistan Embassy in Saudi Arabia, a ceremony was held during the COP16 conference to sign an agreement and officially open the IUCN Representative Office in Tashkent.
The signing of the agreement serves as the legal foundation for the IUCN’s activities in Uzbekistan and marks a significant milestone in their long-term partnership.
Future collaboration is expected to expand through the launch of a joint project with GEF and the UN Development Programme, focusing on the integrated management of nature conservation and restoration of highly valuable landscapes in Uzbekistan.
