National Committee on Ecology and Climate Change of the Republic of Uzbekistan

This landmark event has become the most important platform for agreeing on international climate commitments and discussing measures to prevent the most serious consequences of climate change. At COP29, the focus will be on financing issues, as it is crucial for countries to secure the trillion-dollar investments needed to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect lives and livelihoods from the increasing effects of climate change.

Within the framework of the conference, 150 countries and organizations presented their thematic pavilions in the blue zone of the Baku Olympic Stadium, of which more than 70 were national pavilions of the parties to the convention.

Located in the central part of the exhibition center, the National Pavilion of Uzbekistan was visited by more than 1,000 delegates on the first day of the event. Among the distinguished guests: Vice-President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation Leyla Aliyeva, Assistant Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Viorel Gutu, Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan Yerlan Nyssanbayev, Secretary General of the Organization of Turkic States (OTG) K. Omuraliev, and representatives of the Islamic World Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (ICESCO).

The pavilion of Uzbekistan, built using sustainable, traditional materials and methods adapted to the country's climate, reflects traditional patterns and elements such as adobe plaster, ayvan and topchan. Together they embody cultural values such as caring for nature, family traditions, and a sense of comfort in an Uzbek home. 

The pavilion made a great impression on the distinguished guests and delegates. In particular, Leyla Aliyeva expressed special interest in the cultural heritage and environmental achievements presented in the pavilion. She was also amazed by the scale of the Aral Sea disaster and impressed by the reforestation work carried out on its drained bottom.

In turn, K. Omuraliyev highlighted the initiative of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, to establish the Environmental Council of the OTG countries and expressed gratitude for Uzbekistan's readiness to hold the first meeting of ministers responsible for environmental issues of the OTG countries in the National Pavilion of Uzbekistan.

Uzbekistan's participation at COP29 demonstrated the country's commitment to global climate goals and readiness for international cooperation. The pavilion has become a place not only to discuss important environmental issues but also to share experiences and cultural values that unite the peoples of the region in the fight against climate change.
