In honor of International Mother Earth Day, the Permanent Mission of the Kyrgyz Republic to the United Nations has opened an art exhibition in New York, highlighting the planet’s environmental challenges.
The exhibition features works by young Kyrgyz artists that explore the intricate relationship between climate change, human development, and the natural world. Through a mix of paintings and installations, the artists aim to emphasize the environmental threats affecting global stability.

Speaking at the opening, Aida Kasymalieva, Kyrgyzstan’s Permanent Representative to the UN, underscored the urgent need for intergenerational dialogue and collective responsibility in tackling environmental degradation. “Humanity must realize its shared duty to nature and future generations,” she said, calling for stronger efforts to reduce pollution, curb biodiversity loss, and increase funding for green initiatives.
“This exhibition supports the Kyrgyz Republic’s broader commitment to environmental sustainability both nationally and internationally,” the Kyrgyz Foreign Ministry stated in a press release. “Kyrgyzstan is actively implementing programs to preserve mountain ecosystems, protect biodiversity, and transition to a green economy.”

Kyrgyzstan has long sought to draw international attention to the unique vulnerabilities of mountain regions. Since the early 2000s, the country has positioned itself as a global advocate for highland communities, particularly in the context of climate resilience and sustainable development.
