“With the support of the Secretariat of the Convention to Combat Desertification and Drought, a National Action Plan was developed to combat dust and sand storms in Uzbekistan and reduce their negative impact,” the committee noted.

It is noted that a list of weak, medium-strong, strong and extremely strong areas prone to drought has already been compiled and a “roadmap” has been developed for planting greenery in these potentially dangerous zones.
