Plenary 1 of the Civil Society Forum Focuses on Sustainable Development and Environmental Systems
Awaza, Turkmenistan – August 4, 2025 — The first plenary session of the LLDC3 Civil Society Forum was held today under the theme “Human-Centered Structural Transformation and Environmental Sustainability.” The session served as an important platform for discussing civil society’s approach to the economic, environmental, and social challenges faced by Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs).
Speakers at the session emphasized the critical role of community-based solutions and inclusive development strategies, especially in countries dealing with widespread drylands and the complex effects of climate change. Participants shared initiatives and experiences that align people-centered economic policies with environmental protection.
Key issues highlighted included strengthening local communities’ adaptive capacity, managing natural resources sustainably, and increasing the effectiveness of digital and social innovations.
The forum will continue tomorrow with plenary sessions focused on the digital economy and innovation.
