Promoting green investment in Central Asia

EU-Central Asia Environment, Climate Change and Water Cooperation (WECOOP)

The EU-Central Asia Environment, Climate Change and Water Cooperation (WECOOP) was created to help Central Asian countries move closer towards their sustainable development and circular economy ambitions.

The objectives of this initiative are to enhance environment, climate change, and water policies at national level and approximate them to EU standards. It’s also aimed at promoting informed green investments in several sectors across the region, taking environment and climate change concerns into consideration. To facilitate policy dialogue, we support the preparation and organization of high-level conferences, meetings of the regional Working Group on Environment and Climate Change and national policy dialogue meetings. To promote green investments, we have prepared an investor guide, and helped set up and maintain an online Regional Knowledge Centre—we are now also assisting the identification and preparation of bankable projects.

With this work, we are helping Central Asian countries pave the way for a more sustainable, environmentally friendly future.
