In 2025, the International Year of Peace and Trust, Turkmenistan proposes to intensify a comprehensive cooperation strategy to promote the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This is noted in the Concept of Activities and Priorities of Turkmenistan within the Framework of the International Year of Peace and Trust, published in the media of our country.
«Their achievement is possible only by ensuring conditions for the full-fledged participation of all states in the main processes of the modern world order, the formation of new approaches to the economy of the future – without dividing lines, one-sidedness, politicization and discrimination», the document says.
«The steps of Turkmenistan are also aimed at joint work in the field of Sustainable Development Goals, at creating viable and long-term models of geo-economics. A decisive role in this is given to the implementation of two strategic priorities: energy transformation and transport connectivity», the document notes.
«It is necessary to seek understanding and support for the proposals put forward by Turkmenistan to create a Global Alliance for Cooperation in the Field of Energy Security and Sustainability, and a Global Atlas of Sustainable Transport Connectivity», the Concept states.
It notes that «Turkmenistan has taken a strategic course to implement energy transformation through the transition to low-carbon energy. It is believed that this process also requires approaches that would guarantee equal and equally favorable conditions for states seeking to follow this path, would create prerequisites for their access to energy-saving technologies, and would allow them to use their climatic and geographical advantages in order to maximize the use of renewable energy sources».
«This approach assumes the unconditional priority of environmental criteria in the economy, trade, transport, industry, extraction and processing of raw materials, and a number of other areas, increasing the environmental literacy of the population, education and enlightenment», the document notes.
«Today, a combination and harmonious compatibility of traditional energy sources with new ones based on the «green» agenda is required. In the International Year of Peace and Trust, Turkmenistan will pay special attention to «green diplomacy», promoting on the world stage such forms of interaction that would be based on joint responsibility, overcoming corporate and group interests, and would work for the common good and the future», the Concept says.
