March 6, 2025
Tashkent, 5 March 2025 – Uzbekistan is taking decisive steps toward enhancing its climate commitments with the presentation of the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) 2.0 Stocktake and the Roadmap for NDC 3.0 development. A coordination workshop convenes key national and international stakeholders to discuss progress and ensure a wellcoordinated approach to formulating Uzbekistan’s next climate goals.
United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) assists the government of Uzbekistan on every step of this way and co-hosts with the Ministry of Ecology, Environmental Protection, and Climate Change of Uzbekistan the event that highlights the key findings of Uzbekistan’s NDC 2.0 Stocktake, based on which a roadmap to NDC3.0 has been formulated, and the national approach to developing NDC 3.0 in line with UNFCCC guidelines.
"Today’s event marks a key milestone for Uzbekistan on the road to COP30 in Brazil. As we approach the ten-year anniversary of the Paris Agreement, this is a critical moment to align global efforts with the 1.5°C target and strengthen climate resilience—especially as countries, including Uzbekistan, submit their new NDCs at the heart of the fight against climate change", says Akiko Fujii, UNDP Resident representative to Uzbekistan at the opening of the event.
"I would like to emphasize that the preparation of NDC 3.0 is a shared responsibility of all stakeholders. National ministries and agencies play a decisive role in shaping realistic and ambitious climate goals that will take into account the priorities of the country’s socioeconomic development," said Farrukh Sattarov, Director of the National Center for Climate Change.
During the workshop, representatives from government institutions, international organizations, and civil society exchange insights on strengthening climate policies and mobilizing resources for enhanced climate action. Participants also discuss the offered UN system’s support and inputs to inform the NDC3.0, ensuring alignment with national priorities and global climate commitments.Uzbekistan remains committed to increasing climate ambition and resilience through a transparent and socially inclusive NDC 3.0 development process and decision-making on nationally taken commitments to contribute to combat the global climate change challenge along with just transition to green economy and climate resilient sustainable development.
