He noted that Turkmenistan is working on global climate and “ozone” agreements.

Furthermore, reports from several speakers focused on international measures for the control, inventory, reuse, and disposal of refrigerants from old equipment, analysis of the modern climate equipment market, and alternative refrigerants that do not deplete the ozone layer, as well as energy-efficient technologies in modern climate equipment.
