On November 12, the President of the Republic of Tajikistan, the Leader of the Nation, dear Emomali Rahmon, took part and spoke at the opening ceremony of the pavilion of water for climate in the city of Boku of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The President of the country, Emomali Rahmon, stressed that water and climate are closely interrelated and that rational management and use of water plays a key role in solving climate problems. It was noted that the topic of water soon covered the main sections of the content of climate conferences. According to the head of our state, the climate conferences in Glasgow, Sharm el-Sheikh and Dubai undoubtedly made a worthy contribution to this process. It was said that our country has been steadily and actively promoting water issues on the global development agenda for more than two decades. At the same time, Tajikistan, taking into account the close interrelation of water and climate agendas, constantly draws attention to the special place of the topic of water in the official negotiation process of climate conferences. The Head of State, Emomali Rahmon, noted that Tajikistan, together with its partners, is working on this topic within the framework of the High-level Panel on Climate and Water, the United Nations 2023 Water Conference, the Dushanbe Water Process and other important international platforms. It was noted that the joint efforts of stakeholders can create a good basis for solving problems related to weather and climate. The President of the country, dear Emomali Rahmon, drew the attention of the participants of the event to one of the most important aspects of the topic of water and climate – the rapid melting of glaciers. It was noted that the protection of glaciers has become an urgent issue on the world agenda. "At the initiative of Tajikistan, the United Nations General Assembly declared 2025 the “Year of Glacier Protection.” According to the adopted resolution, the "international trust fund for the protection of glaciers" was also established, and Tajikistan was one of the first to make its financial contribution to this fund,” said the head of state, dear Emomali Rahmon. It was also noted that on the basis of this resolution, Tajikistan will hold a high-level conference on glacier protection in Dushanbe in May 2025. The President of the country, dear Emomali Rahmon, described the high-level summit as raising awareness, exchanging information and attracting more attention from the world community to solving these problems and the interaction of water and climate issues.
