Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) has been working with the Government of Uzbekistan since 2019. It directly supports the country’s SDGs, Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), “Uzbekistan – 2030 Strategy” and the “Strategy for Uzbekistan’s Transition to a Green Economy for 2019-2030,” among other national priorities. This support includes technical assistance, capacity building through trainings, climate adaptation awareness-raising activities, and mobilizing green investment via bonds.

GGGI in Uzbekistan prioritizes the support for the Government of Uzbekistan to develop and update policies that create an enabling environment for green investments, as well as develops projects to mobilize investments directly. In partnership with the Government of Uzbekistan, local governments, the private sector, and development partners, GGGI aims to support the country with a focus on such areas as Green Investments, Climate Action, Climate-Resilient Agriculture, Green Buildings, Carbon Pricing.

GGGI in Uzbekistan has achieved a significant green growth impact across multiple sectors. To address the region’s need for climate change mitigation and adaptation measures, GGGI mobilized over USD 1 billion through sustainable and green bonds in partnership with the banks of Uzbekistan that demonstrated high commitment to green financing initiatives. Additionally, GGGI designed a Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) Financing Facility to cover agricultural sector’s demand in green finance. GGGI also provided capacity-building to financial institutions on green financing, ESG, and green business planning.

In order to further help support the region’s agriculture sector to adapt to climate change, GGGI equipped more than 800 hectares of land with water-saving irrigation systems and windbreaks.

Furthermore, over the past few years, GGGI conducted training sessions on climate change adaptation measures related to CSA, health, and agri-business acceleration tailored for different demographics. GGGI also held workshops on farms and CSA entrepreneurship to build entrepreneurial capacities of the local population.

Lastly, GGGI implemented the first pilot Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) in Uzbekistan, providing guidance on the process and learning modules to the relevant stakeholders.
