During his speech at the 31st Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, Adylbek Kasymaliev reaffirmed Kyrgyzstan's commitment to the climate agenda. The main emphasis was placed on renewable energy development, rational resource use, and strengthening resilience to climate change.
Financing and Support for Mountainous Regions
The Cabinet Chair pointed to a serious deficit in the funds required by developing mountain nations to adapt to climate change. He supported international agreements aimed at a large-scale increase in aid volumes.
In addition to financial issues, Kasymaliev emphasized the importance of removing administrative barriers that prevent countries from accessing climate resources.
Preserving Lake Issyk-Kul
The protection of unique ecosystems was a separate point of the speech. In particular, the initiative to create an international trust fund for the preservation of Issyk-Kul was addressed. Previously, President Sadyr Japarov announced the creation of this fund during the 81st session of the UN General Assembly, with the Kyrgyz Republic providing the initial contribution.
