In the course of the meeting, issues such as implementation of environmental laws and presidential decrees were discussed, as well as the work carried out within the national project “Green space” and the work being done in the field of waste management in the country.

At the meeting, a number of heads of regional departments who approached their work irresponsibly, namely heads of ecology and environment protection departments of Navoi, Kashkadarya and Syrdarya regions, were fired.
