The development of renewable energy in Central Asia faces a key barrier: a shortage of qualified specialists. This challenge is the central focus of a panel session organized by the Regional Environmental Centre for Central Asia (CAREC), jointly with the OSCE, GIZ, and partners, as part of the Central Asian Climate Change Conference (CACCC-2026).
Astana, April 23, 2026 — During a session titled "Strengthening Regional Actions to Reduce Methane Emissions in Central Asia" at the Central Asia Climate Change Conference (CACCC-2026) in Astana, five Central Asian states – Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan – reaffirmed the high importance of efforts to reduce methane emissions.
The eighth Central Asian Climate Change Conference (CAKIC-2026) has opened in Astana. Over the years, the conference has become a key regional platform for dialogue, knowledge exchange, and the development of practical climate solutions.
