Environment
GHG emissions reduction targets: 
Stabilization or beginning of reducing GHG emissions by 2030 will allow Turkmenistan to enter the trajectory of low-carbon development, compatible with long-term global goal - not exceeding the 2-degree rise in temperature levels.
Decarbonization strategy: 
Turkmenistan has adopted the National Strategy on Climate Change. National Plans for Mitigation and Adaptation (NAPA and NAMA) are in the process of development. These documents reflect actions ensuring reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 on national scale and in some sectors corresponding to declared contribution in INDC Turkmenistan.
Governance
M&E of policy implementation: 
At the national level the progress of implementation of the envisaged activities to reduce GHG emissions are controlled by the government and relevant ministries and agencies.
