By pooling the ideas and knowledge of technical experts, partners, and concerned national institutions, Kyrgyzstan aims to prepare a high-quality proposal for financing by the Green Climate Fund. A three-day national facilitation workshop on Green Climate Fund readiness and project formulation – hosted and organized by Kyrgyzstan’s State Agency on environmental Protection and Forestry and FAO – opens today at the Park Hotel in Bishkek.

The main objectives are to brief participants on the Green Climate Fund, review climate change impact and trends in the country, identify gaps and lessons learned, and set priorities for the formulation of a proposal to the Green Climate Fund.

The country’s Ministry of Emergency Situations, Ministry of Agriculture, Food Industry and Melioration of the Kyrgyz Republic, and the State Agency on Environmental Protection and Forestry will take part in the workshop.
