As part of the Third UN Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDC 3), Turkmenistan organised a series of events focusing on youth policy, sustainable energy and the circular economy. This was reported by the state news agency TDH.

One of the key events held on 6 August was dedicated to the role of youth as a driving force for socio-economic transformation. Participants discussed the priorities of Turkmenistan's state youth policy, including the implementation of the updated law adopted in 2022 and the active involvement of young people in international projects. Support for youth entrepreneurship and participation in international youth programmes also remain a focus.

In addition, sustainable energy issues were discussed. Turkmenistan reaffirmed its commitment to developing renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power, as well as reducing methane emissions. Specific steps include the construction of a solar-wind power plant in the Balkan velayat and participation in the Global Methane Pledge. The country has a law on renewable energy sources, and a research centre has been established at the Energy Institute in Mary.

The topic of the circular economy also featured prominently on the agenda. The circular economy is seen in Turkmenistan as a tool for rational resource use and sustainable development. The country's government has proposed developing a Global Framework for the Transition to a Circular Economy, an idea that was supported in negotiations with UN Secretary-General António Guterres. Turkmenistan is already participating in international projects such as CirculEC and ESGCA, and relevant technological solutions are being developed at national research centres.

All the initiatives presented underscore Turkmenistan's desire for international cooperation and confirm its commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals.
