Antalya, Nov. 12, 2026. /Kabar/. The annual need for financing adaptation measures in response to climate change in mountainous countries amounts to nearly 187 billion US dollars. Adylbek Kasymaliev, Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers, stated at the Leaders' Summit held within the framework of the 31st UN Climate Change Conference (COP31).
According to him, the actual volume of international support currently being provided amounts to only 13.8 billion US dollars. “In this regard, we welcome the agreements reached at COP30 to mobilize $1.3 trillion USD annually in climate finance by 2035 and to triple the global volume of funding for adaptation measures.
Reforming the international financial architecture has become a necessity today. In this context, facilitating access to climate finance, removing excessive administrative barriers, and creating equitable conditions for developing countries are of particular importance,” said Kasymaliev.
The chairman emphasized that climate finance is not charity; rather, it is an essential prerequisite for ensuring global climate justice and shared responsibility.
“Special attention must be paid to mountainous countries, which are highly vulnerable to climate change. They require not only financial resources but also modern technologies and practical solutions aimed at preventing and mitigating the risks of natural disasters,” said Kasymaliev.
