SCO Spotlight: Central Asia’s role in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) is back in focus as officials in Dushanbe highlight how the bloc’s “coordination” strength helps members tackle problems they can’t solve alone, with the SCO’s 25-year push now framed around sustainable development, not just security. One Health in Action: Central Asia wrapped a regional round of consultations on “One Health,” aiming to align pandemic prevention, food system resilience, and ecosystem health through a shared package of strategic and regulatory documents ahead of the June 25 coordinating council meeting. Water & Land Resilience: The GEF has moved the Central Asia Water-Land Nexus Programme (CAWLN) into practical implementation, targeting integrated management of stressed rivers and degraded lands across five countries. Wildlife & Ecosystems: Central Asian governments signed a mountain ecosystem declaration at the GEF, linking wildlife protection with sustainable landscapes and transboundary ecological corridors. Digital Push in Tajikistan: Dushanbe’s new IT Hub project—an IT school, IT park, business center, and regional AI center—aims to accelerate a digital economy, with investment estimated at $100 million. Yoga & Nature Values: Tajikistan also hosted an International Day of Yoga build-up, with India’s Kirti Vardhan Singh promoting holistic health and “harmony with nature” in Dushanbe.
