On June 26 in Minsk, the results of the Third Green Eurasia International Climate Competition were announced as part of the 4th Eurasian Economic Forum. The contest was organized by the Eurasian Economic Commission and the Agency for Strategic Initiatives to Promote New Projects (ASI).
The main objectives of the competition are to identify technology leaders in the green agenda aimed at the sustainable development of Eurasian Economic Union member states and to promote effective practices in climate mitigation and adaptation.
"It is gratifying to see the competition continue to gain momentum", said EEC trade minister Andrey Slepnev. "This year, we have 16 participating countries, and not just from the EAEU or the Eurasian continent. In particular, several African countries have taken part."
He emphasized that the competition is built on a blend of initiative, environmental responsibility, and economic efficiency to ensure that climate practices support sustainable economic growth. A key requirement of the competition is that the solutions presented by participants can be replicated and shared as common resources.
In 2025, the competition recognized 41 winners: 25 from Russia, five from Belarus, two each from China and India, and one each from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Iran, Moldova, Ethiopia, and Senegal. Additionally, the organizers highlighted two projects in the cross-cutting category of Eurasian Perspective, recognizing initiatives with an international cooperation component that involved participation from multiple countries.
That same day, the Green Eurasia competition projects were showcased, and the expert panel reviewed the winning and runner-up entries.
The third Green Eurasia competition attracted 295 applications from Armenia, Belarus, Bulgaria, India, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, China, Moldova, Russia, Senegal, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Ethiopia, and South Africa. Experts evaluated and selected the most effective climate mitigation and adaptation practices across 10 categories.
