President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov signed a resolution on the establishment of an intersectoral commission to reduce methane emissions. This decision was made by the head of state during a government meeting held on Friday.
As noted in the resolution, the creation of an intersectoral commission is aimed at strengthening control over the effectiveness of work to systematically reduce the volume of greenhouse gases, and mainly methane emissions, arising in various sectors of the economy.
The same resolution approved the composition of the intersectoral commission and its regulations.
