Al Diplomasy: The Samarkand Climate Forum to serve as a platform for advancing discussions on environmental sustainability and green economic development

An article published in both Arabic and English by the specialized Egyptian online publication Al Diplomasy, discusses the upcoming Samarkand International Climate Forum, reports Dunyo IA correspondent.

The article highlights that on April 4-5 of this year, Samarkand will host the Climate Forum at the Silk Road Congress Center. The event will bring together world leaders, policymakers, experts, and activists to address the pressing climate challenges facing Central Asia and other countries.

As noted in the source, the forum’s theme, "Central Asia facing global climate challenges—consolidation for common prosperity", is expected to serve as a high-level platform for advancing discussions on environmental sustainability, green economic development, and climate resilience. The 2025 Samarkand Climate Forum will feature expert panels, plenary sessions, and strategic dialogues focused on key areas such as clean energy, integrated water resource management, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable urban development, with an emphasis on regional and international cooperation.

According to the publication, one of the central topics of discussion will be the Aral Sea crisis, which serves as a stark example of global environmental degradation. Experts and decision-makers will explore solutions for land restoration, combating desertification, and mitigating the socio-economic impacts of climate change in affected regions.

It is also underscored in the article that Samarkand Climate Forum 2025 will involve leaders from Central Asian countries, including Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan, as well as representatives from the European Union, the United Nations, international financial institutions, and leading environmental organizations. This diverse participation underscores the collective commitment to "green" transformations and sustainable development in the region.

"A key outcome of the event will be the presentation of the Samarkand Forum’s Regional Concept of "Green" development, which will lay the foundation for crafting a unified vision for climate action and sustainable development in Central Asia in the context of climate change. The concept will outline approaches from leading international organizations to address environmental issues in the region", concludes Al Diplomasy.
