Uzbekistan's pavilion at COP31
Uzbekistan's national pavilion began operating at the COP31 climate summit in Antalya. It is conceived as a platform for showcasing the country's environmental transformations, exchanging experience, and strengthening international cooperation in the interests of sustainable development.
The concept and Ziroat Mirziyoyeva's visit
The pavilion's architectural concept is built around the idea of 'The Vineyard: the heritage of the past, the solution of the present, the inspiration for the future.' Ziroat Mirziyoyeva, chairwoman of the Board of Trustees of the International Public Foundation Zamin, reviewed the national initiatives presented in the field of environmental protection and environmental education. Particular attention during the visit was given specifically to environmental education.
The environmental education system
Participants of the Eco-Schools Uzbekistan project, implemented by the Zamin Foundation, presented to the First Lady a system of continuous environmental education covering all levels of education. It includes the LEAF program for preschool and primary education, Eco-Schools for general education schools, and Eco-Campus for higher and secondary vocational education institutions. According to the organizers' vision, these initiatives should foster an environmental culture and raise the younger generation's awareness of environmental protection issues.
