Energy-Signature Solution 5 - Energy: Cleaner, affordable, renewable energy for everyone. Energy is a priority in UNDP's current strategic plan as sustainable energy is vital to poverty eradication, social progress, gender equality, low-carbon and climate-resilient development. In alignment with Uzbekistan's declaration of 2025 as the "Year of Environmental Protection and Green Economy", UNDP's forthcoming Country Programme Document (2026-2030) places energy at the forefront of its strategic initiatives. This will be achieved in line with the signature solution global priorities aimed at supporting the countries' transitions to sustainable energy systems by working to de-risk the investment environment and to attract and leverage private and public-sector resources with a particular focus on transitioning to renewable energy generation, affordable heating supply and energy efficiency measures and policies and strengthening risk-informed zero-carbon development. UNDP will support to the specific targets of Uzbekistan's Strategy on Transition to Green Economy by 2030- reducing emissions by increasing energy efficiency and enhancing use of renewable energy through blended financing opportunities with the IFIs and enhancing access to clean and affordable energy.
