The event, held in the conference hall of the Archabil Hotel, was organized by the Ozone Center under the Ministry of Environmental Protection and supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan and the representative of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in the country, reports "Turkmenistan: Golden Age".
Several projects and planned events in support of the country's efforts on the climate agenda were presented to representatives of ministries and departments, the Turkmengaz and Turkmennebit State Concerns, state and business enterprises engaged in the market for the installation and maintenance of cooling and air conditioning systems.

The meeting ended with a discussion on the needs and priorities of Turkmenistan in implementing national "ozone" legislation and global agreements, the deadlines for collecting data for subsequent action planning and other steps in this area were determined, the publication writes.
