About
Science, Innovation and Cooperation for a Climate-Resilient Central Asia
About
The Climate Scientific Forum is organised as a regional scientific and practical platform of the Central Asian University of Environmental and Climate Change Studies (Green University) on 14 August 2026 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
It is a focused one-day international forum with high-level dialogue, a keynote lecture, panel discussions, exhibition and networking, thematic lectures, and publication-oriented scientific exchange. Working languages are English, with interpretation support where required.
Central Asia faces interconnected climate and environmental pressures — rising temperatures, water scarcity, land degradation, desertification, air pollution and biodiversity loss — that affect regional stability, food and water security, and livelihoods. Scientific knowledge remains dispersed; the Forum connects science with policy, technology, education and implementation.
The overall aim is to transform regional scientific dialogue into publishable knowledge, practical cooperation and policy-relevant solutions that strengthen climate resilience and environmental sustainability in Central Asia — under the oversight of the Organising and Scientific Committees.
