The National Climate Change Strategy of Turkmenistan represents the national vision of climate change issues and is a basis for the formulation and implementation of national policy of Turkmenistan on the issues related to climate change and its effects.

The climate change policy is intended to facilitate and strengthen the country’s growth rate trends while being a catalyst for modernization, diversification and fortification in all economic sectors, thereby increasing the country’s profile on the global markets, and improving Turkmenistan’s competitive capacity through upgrading technology and energy effectiveness. Integration of climate change response measures into sectoral plans and strategies will also be integral to this.

The Strategy’s key objective is the identification and assessment of threats to Turkmen development and security caused by climate change including threats to economy, infrastructure, water management, public life and health, and ensuring reasonable prudence in planning and implementation of measures to protect the Turkmen nation and state from adverse effects of climate change.
