A side event, "Climate Finance Partnership Evening," was held at the Dushanbe Botanical Garden as part of the 45th session of the Green Climate Fund Governing Council, the press service of the Committee for Environmental Protection under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan reported.
The event began with welcoming speeches by Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Tajikistan Suleimon Ziyozoda Rizoi and Executive Director of the Green Climate Fund Mafalda Duarte.
Speakers emphasized that holding the event in Dushanbe reflects the international community's trust in Tajikistan and demonstrates a shared commitment to strengthening cooperation in the fight against climate change.
As noted during the meeting, the Climate Finance Partnership Evening provided participants with an opportunity to continue the exchange of views beyond the formal negotiations, strengthen partnerships, and discuss prospects for new collaboration.
One of the key topics of the event was the search for effective mechanisms for mobilizing climate finance.
Tajikistan views the Green Climate Fund as one of the most important international mechanisms for financing climate change measures and a reliable partner in strengthening adaptation to climate change.
Cooperation with the Fund is also aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement.
The Government of the Republic of Tajikistan has identified climate policy and green development as one of the priority areas of state policy.
In this context, the country adopted the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), the Green Economy Development Strategy for 2023–2037, and other strategic documents.
Cooperation with the Green Climate Fund is of particular importance for Tajikistan. The Fund's support plays a vital role in strengthening national capacity, developing projects, and mobilizing climate investments necessary for implementing national priorities.
Participants at the event noted that no country is capable of preventing the negative consequences of climate change on its own.
They believe that increasing climate finance and promoting sustainable development requires stronger partnerships, investment coordination and knowledge sharing.
