“SPECA should work to become an attractive destination for green investment and sustainable growth”, ESCAP Executive Secretary Armida Salsiah Alisjahbana emphasized in her opening remarks.
This year, the Forum focused on key priorities such as climate action, technology and innovation, and sustainable transport and energy. In several presentations, delegates highlighted how climate change is affecting the economies and ecosystems of the SPECA region, including issues such as melting glaciers, water shortages and increased pollution.
High-level participants from Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan discussed the operationalization of the SPECA Multi-Partner Trust Fund.
