Within the framework of the 29th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, held in Baku, Azerbaijan, Minister Meder Mashiev met with the GCF Chief Investment Officer Henry Gonzalez in the pavilion of Kyrgyzstan.
The minister noted that the current restriction on the implementation of five projects within one program cycle narrows the opportunities for achieving the country’s climate goals.
