We are pleased to present to you the MoveGreen annual report for 2023. The report highlights MoveGreen’s key achievements in advocating for air quality improvements and encouraging climate action and environmental protection. The use of data, building of communities, and strengthening capacities of key stakeholders are at the heart of MoveGreen’s work and although 2023 was a challenging year both globally and locally, MoveGreen’s actions demonstrated again that positive change is possible. Throughout 2023, MoveGreen was able to increase the impact of its work on air quality, facilitate the dialogue on air quality in the wider Central Asia region and embark on new partnerships to address climate change. Some highlights include:
As a result of MoveGreen’s efforts, the network of citizen air quality monitoring in Central Asia has been expanded and data accessibility has been improved. More than 100 low-cost air quality sensors were installed in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. Current and accurate data about key air pollutants such as PM2.5 and PM10 is now available in real-time and can be accessed by citizens and interested stakeholders via a new phone app and an online platform AQ.kg.
A key highlight from MoveGreen’s work in 2023, is the strengthened dialogue on air quality between the Central Asian countries. MoveGreen helped expand the Air Quality Central Asia network to 39 members and establish an online portal for sharing knowledge, and resources among members and the wider public. Various research outputs and knowledge products demonstrated the added value and impact of measures that reduce air pollution and increase energy efficiency were produced and shared with relevant stakeholders.
MoveGreen introduced research, policy briefs and pilots to showcase the need to create an energy efficiency fund in Bishkek to both improve air quality and reduce emissions. This initiative was supported by the local government and we hope to expand it to the other cities in Kyrgyzstan.
This year we were also able to explore the area of biodiversity via activities to protect the unique ecosystem of the national park Ala-Arch in Kyrgyzstan.
In the area of climate change, MoveGreen worked with partners to strengthen civil society organizations across the entire Eastern Europe and Central Asia region and engage with youth, media representatives. In a first for Kyrgyz civil society organizations working on environmental issues, MoveGreen attended the Conference of Parties under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Dubai (COP28) to deliver a message on behalf of Kyrgyz youth about the impacts of climate change on youth in Kyrgyzstan and the need for concerted action on mitigation and adaptation.
MoveGreen is grateful to have the support of funders, partners, volunteers and the wider civil society community and will continue to work passionately towards its mission. Despite the emerging challenges in Kyrgyzstan, MoveGreen will remain committed to addressing the root causes of air pollution and climate change and strive to make a positive difference in the region.
