Decision-making for environmental protection

Since 2000, Turkmenistan has been experiencing rapid economic development with subsequent pressure on natural resources and their unsustainable use. At the same time, legislation on environmental protection has not kept pace with the country’s progress and its development has been slow and incomplete. Global environmental challenges and internal demand have created a need for the development of appropriate sustainable development strategies and environmental policies at the national level, and their systematic improvement.
