Glacier & Issyk-Kul Protection: President Sadyr Japarov signed a decree creating a Fund for the Conservation and Protection of Kyrgyzstan’s Glaciers and the Issyk-Kul ecosystem, aimed at attracting international grants and investment to slow glacier melt, protect water resources, fund water-saving tech, and support climate adaptation and emergency risk reduction; the Cabinet must set the fund’s legal structure and project selection rules by Oct. 1, 2026, with ministries split across water, ecology, and emergency glacier monitoring. Glacier Pollution Law Draft: The Ministry of Emergency Situations proposed amendments to the hydrometeorology law to establish a legal mechanism for protecting glaciers from pollution, including regular monitoring and better coordination among state bodies. Waste Management Program: Kyrgyzstan began work on a national state waste management program, with a hybrid meeting of an interdepartmental working group and plans to develop a strategic document for sustainable waste and recyclable resource management. Climate Adaptation Plan: A draft National Climate Adaptation Plan through 2035 is out for public consultation, targeting droughts, floods, and mudflows as glaciers shrink and river flows shift. Urban Eco-Project: Bishkek and Changsha discussed inter-municipal cooperation, including an eco-technological plant to dispose of solid household waste and generate electricity. Food Security Oversight: The Cabinet’s food security council reviewed 2026 balances for nine key food products and pushed for practical implementation, not “paper-only” decisions. Disaster Toll Update: A draft decree on emergency response cites 283 emergencies (2021–2025), 1,764 deaths, and major damage totals, highlighting ongoing flood- and water-related risks.
