On May 9, 2024, at the UN headquarters, the Kyrgyz Republic delegation participated in the high-level segment of the 19th session of the Forum on Forests: “Forest-based solutions to the triple planetary crises: A focus on people, science, technology, and finance”.

During his speech, Asein Isaev drew attention to the vulnerability of Kyrgyzstan's mountain forests, particularly emphasizing the uniqueness of the relict forests of Arslanbob, the largest nut and fruit tract on the planet. He highlighted the significance of the national campaign «Green Heritage» launched in 2023, which has planted over 8 million seedlings across the country's territory, with plans for annual planting of approximately 6 million seedlings. The Kyrgyz side called for consolidated efforts to preserve mountain and forest ecosystems and their biodiversity, as a feasible contribution to the implementation of the UN Strategic Plan for Forests for 2017-2030 and the Five-Year Action Plan for the Development of Mountain Regions for 2023-2027.

Also, bilateral meetings took place between the First Deputy Minister Asein Isaev and the President of the United Nations Economic and Social Council, Paula Narvaez, and the United Nations High Representative for Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries, and Small Island Developing States Fatima Rabab. During the negotiations, climate issues and the mountain agenda were discussed.

During the meeting with the Special Advisor to the United Nations Secretary-General on Climate Issues Selwin Hart, A. Isaev informed about the initiative of the Kyrgyz Republic to anchor a new global dialogue «Mountains and Climate» in the annual calendar of the UN Climate Change Conference.
