Therefore,&nbsp;the Central Asia Regional environmental expert network was created with support from the SLU-CA programme. It will&nbsp;boost sustainable natural resource use by bringing together experts from different fields and deploying their knowledge&nbsp;to promote the green economy and low-carbon development&nbsp;in the countries. The main principles of this platform will&nbsp;be regionality and fact-based decision making. This will&nbsp;enable to work together and to use different geographical&nbsp;and interdisciplinary experience as well as methodological knowledge. Development of new tools and measures to ensure the sustainable development of various sectors of the economy, including industry, energy, transport, agriculture will be an important direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A kick-off workshop of the expert network featured more than 30 participants, including independent experts and\u00a0representatives of different organizations from Central Asia\u00a0such as GWP CACENA*, ACTED*, CREEED*, Kyrgyz-Russian\u00a0Slavic University, CAIAG*, ACBK*, Kazakh-German University,\u00a0Green Salvation Ecological Society (Kazakhstan), Green Bridge\u00a0Company (Kazakhstan), Kazakhstan Chamber of Environmental\u00a0Auditors, \u201cBiosphere Kazakhstan\u201d Company, Public Association \u201cHuman Health Institute\u201d (Kazakhstan) as well as NGO \u201cYouth Ecological Centre of Tajikistan\u201d, NGO CAMP Kuhiston* (Tajikistan), and NGO KRASS* from Uzbekistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Participants worked on identifying a common vision, strategic outlook and thematic focus of the network.Ecomuseum* and PF CAMP Alatoo* were identified as carrier organizations.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.landuse-ca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20190218_194409-1024x768.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.landuse-ca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20190219_162139-1024x768.jpg\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.landuse-ca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20190219_162139-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.landuse-ca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20190219_162139-1024x768.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.landuse-ca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20190218_194409-1024x768.jpg\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.landuse-ca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20190218_194409-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>*Abbreviations\/Explanation:<\/strong><br><strong>GWP CACENA<\/strong>\u2013 the Regional Water Partnership Network for the Countries of Caucasus and Central Asia.<br><strong>ACTED&nbsp;<\/strong>\u2013 Since 1993 the French NGO ACTED has been committed to immediate humanitarian relief to support those in urgent need and protect people\u2019s dignity, while co-creating longer term opportunities for sustainable growth and fulfilling people\u2019s potential.<br><strong>CREEED&nbsp;<\/strong>\u2013 Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Development (Kyrgyzstan).<br><strong>CAIAG&nbsp;<\/strong>\u2013 Central Asian Institute of Applied Geosciences (Kyrgyzstan).<br><strong>ACBK<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Association for the Conservation of Biodiversity of Kazakhstan.<br><strong>NGO CAMP Kuhiston<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 a non-profit and non-governmental organization promoting sustainable development in the mountain regions of Tajikistan.&nbsp;NGO&nbsp;<strong>KRASS&nbsp;<\/strong>\u2013 non-governmental organisation \u201cKhorezm Rural Advisory Support Service\u201d (UZB).<br><strong>Ecomuseum&nbsp;<\/strong>\u2013 Public association Karaganda Regional Ecological Museum (Kazakhstan).<br><strong>PF CAMP Alatoo<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 a public foundation promotes sustainable development of mountain regions in Central Asia and makes a significant contribution to improving the life of local communities.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","countries":[107],"annum":[103],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.landuse-ca.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/8901"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.landuse-ca.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.landuse-ca.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.landuse-ca.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8901"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"countries","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.landuse-ca.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/countries?post=8901"},{"taxonomy":"annum","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.landuse-ca.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/annum?post=8901"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
