On 29 July 2025, an OSCE seminar on ‘Youth Negotiation on Climate, Security and Co-operation’ was held in Ashgabat, attended by about 35 students from leading universities in Turkmenistan. The event was organised by the OSCE Centre in Ashgabat as part of its support for UNICEF Youth Climate Summer School 2025. This was reported by the IIC.

During the seminar, participants studied OSCE environmental initiatives and discussed the integration of a gender perspective into the organisation's strategy. Special attention was paid to the role of Central Asian youth in global negotiations on climate and water security. Finalists of the OSCE Young Women 4 Peace Initiative programme shared their experiences of participating in climate diplomacy.

At the end of the seminar, participants drafted a youth statement to be included in the National Youth Statement for COP30. The event was attended by students from leading universities in the country, including the Institute of International Relations of the Foreign Affairs Ministry of Turkmenistan and the International Oil and Gas University.
