As previously reported, within the framework of the international initiatives of the Founder of Peace and National Unity – Leader of the Nation, President of the Republic of Tajikistan, Esteemed Emomali Rahmon in the fields of water, climate, ecology, and glacier protection, the Majlisi Namoyandagon of the Majlisi Oli of the Republic of Tajikistan, together with the Committee for Environmental Protection under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan, announced a national contest themed "Glacier Protection is an Important Factor in Ensuring a Bright Future for Humanity."
The award ceremony, held today, was attended by the Chairman of the Majlisi Namoyandagon of the Majlisi Oli of the Republic of Tajikistan, Faizali Idizoda, who wished all participants and winners success in their creative work and new achievements.
In June 2025, a High-Level International Conference on Glacier Protection was held in the city of Dushanbe in cooperation with relevant United Nations structures. Additionally, from May 25 to 28, 2026, the 4th High-Level International Conference on the International Decade for Action "Water for Sustainable Development", 2018–2028, took place in Dushanbe, bringing together 2,500 people from over 110 countries, representatives of 75 international and regional organizations, and more than 300 domestic and foreign journalists.
As the Head of State – Leader of the Nation, Esteemed Emomali Rahmon emphasized, "Despite achievements in the water sector, the world continues to face a number of challenges that have hindered the process of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Sustainable Development Goal 6." Scientific data shows that by 2050, the global community's demand for drinking water will increase by 25 percent, requiring a 50 percent increase in food production for the growing population.
As a reminder, more than 50 active participants and winners of the contest across three categories were awarded monetary prizes and commemorative gifts.
The Chairman of the Ecology Commission of the Majlisi Namoyandagon of the Majlisi Oli of the Republic of Tajikistan, Orif Amirzoda, noted that holding such contests will contribute to raising the educational level of the population, as well as developing ecological culture and behavioral culture.
