UZBEKISTAN: CO2 COUNTRY PROFILE

Abstract

After the adoption of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1992, Uzbekistan committed to addressing global climate change. The convention aims to stabilize the concentration of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere and prevent dangerous human-induced climate change.Uzbekistan joined the convention in 1993 and ratified it in 1999. In 2015, the country signed and ratified the Paris Agreement, committing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to mitigate climate change. As part of this commitment, Uzbekistan has developed its own Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to reduce emissions by 10% compared to 2005 levels per unit of gross domestic product (GDP).
