Termez State University informs and supports local and regional authorities through environmental observations, climate-risk research, information exchange and cooperation on preparedness. Its official climate-risk monitoring page describes regular sharing of environmental information with the Ministry of Emergency Situations to support local and regional early-warning systems. The university’s 2025 record also includes government-linked research on moving sand and hot winds in Kattaqum, with monitoring and protective proposals for settlements in Termez and Jarqo‘rg‘on districts. These activities connect university expertise with public authorities responsible for understanding local risks and protecting communities.
The university’s published monitoring arrangements cover weather, water and geological hazards. The official description identifies a meteorological station in the Natural Sciences faculty courtyard that monitors temperature, rainfall, wind speed and humidity. It also describes hydrological and geological monitoring of river, lake and reservoir levels, landslide risk and ground movement. Information is regularly exchanged with the Ministry of Emergency Situations. The stated purpose is to support government early-warning systems with observations of environmental conditions and potential hazards.
The supplied GreenMetric evidence adds detail about the university’s technical observation capacity. Its energy and climate innovations file identifies the Meteobot automated meteorological station at the Western Campus and describes real-time information on air temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind, soil conditions and solar radiation. These are six categories of observations listed in the submission. The station’s stated uses include climate research, environmental monitoring, early-warning activity, renewable-energy planning and student training. The archive therefore places environmental observation within the university’s continuing institutional climate programme.
The same GreenMetric file describes digital energy and climate monitoring through Meteobot software and other monitoring platforms. Its account connects the collection of environmental information with data-based decisions and planning of climate initiatives. For this indicator, the relevant element is the observation of local environmental conditions and its stated contribution to early-warning activity. The Meteobot record describes the technical resource, while the official climate-risk cooperation pages describe relationships with public authorities and the exchange of information.
A dated example of support for regional government is the Kattaqum project reported on 26 July 2025. TerSU’s Regional Research Centre undertook the work with the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography in response to the Surxondaryo regional administration’s letter of 11 July 2025, reference 04-04/1636. The report identifies moving sand and hot garmsel winds affecting settlements in Termez and Jarqo‘rg‘on districts. Its focus is the development of scientifically grounded proposals to reduce these local environmental pressures.
The reported work includes field study and monitoring, remote sensing, mapping and analysis of the affected area. Protective proposals concern desert greening, stabilisation of moving dunes, green shelter belts and selection of plants adapted to desert conditions. This gives the government-linked project a defined geographical scope and a practical set of risk-reduction measures. The official Telegram channel also published the project account in post 33722, communicating the research and its proposed responses to a wider public audience.
A further official Telegram account, post 33997, describes a visit by the researchers to the Surxondaryo Regional Hydrometeorological Centre. The university’s Scientific Department and Regional Research Centre worked with specialists from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, including Professors Kaihui Li and Shengyu Li and their research assistants. During the visit, they became acquainted with the centre’s meteorological, hydrological, agroclimatic and ecological observation processes. The account places this engagement within the Kattaqum research programme linked to the regional administration’s request.
That project update also describes investigation of moving sand and hot winds, remote sensing and mapping, dune stabilisation and the planning of protective vegetation in Termez and Jarqo‘rg‘on districts. Its relevance is the direct contact between university researchers, international scientific specialists and the regional hydrometeorological organisation around a named local environmental problem. It provides a concrete institutional setting for observation-based research and cooperation with the public service responsible for hydrometeorological information.
The GreenMetric community-service register records the Kattaqum project on 26 July 2025 under “Scientific steps towards a green life”, with 150 participants. The environment and sustainability event register records the same project date and participant figure. The count belongs to the project entry in the university’s submission. Together with the dated university report and official Telegram accounts, it connects the local monitoring and adaptation work with the university’s documented activity during the reporting year.
Government cooperation also includes the interpretation and communication of seasonal hazards. The university’s climate-risk cooperation page describes collaboration with the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the hydrometeorological service, including exercises and seminar training on safe evacuation and assessment of hazardous situations. It states that areas exposed to spring mudflow risk are identified and that protective measures for mudflows and floods are explained to residents through mass media. The same page describes a joint activity plan with agriculture and ecology authorities and the Ministry of Emergency Situations to address local climate impacts.
Practical preparedness with regional emergency authorities is illustrated by the Safe Life exercise on 4 November 2025. The university’s public account states that representatives of the regional Emergency Situations Department took part in a special tactical training exercise intended to strengthen correct action during emergencies among students and academic staff. The supplied GreenMetric student-organisation activity register records 300 participants. This is a dated example of practical emergency cooperation accompanying the university’s risk-awareness and monitoring arrangements.
The university’s broader climate-cooperation description identifies the Surxondaryo hydrometeorological and ecology organisations as partners in adaptation, environmental monitoring and public awareness. It also describes research into rainfall, temperature and wind conditions, water scarcity, soil degradation and desertification. These subjects connect the university’s scientific work with the environmental pressures faced by the surrounding region. Cooperation with the named public organisations provides a route for academic expertise to contribute to local environmental understanding and climate adaptation.
The official account of university participation in SDG policy describes an additional analytical contribution to government. University research centres undertake modelling on land degradation, water-resource efficiency and climate adaptation, and prepare analytical material for public authorities. The page also describes the use of geographic information systems and data analysis to monitor soil fertility, biodiversity and water-resource indicators, with findings presented to the ecology authorities and regional organisations. This complements field observations with analysis that can inform environmental management and adaptation decisions.
Public communication forms part of the institutional relationship. The university’s strategic climate cooperation page describes joint monitoring with regional ecology, water-management and forestry organisations and states that results of climate-related activities are shared with local government and public organisations. This gives the wider climate programme an external reporting dimension. University news articles and the official Telegram channel provide public accounts of named projects, while the monitoring page identifies information exchange with emergency authorities as support for early-warning systems.
The Energy and Climate Change Programme for 2024–2030 provides the institutional planning period covering the reporting year. The programme is identified in the supplied GreenMetric climate-programmes evidence and listed on the university’s public SDG page. The submitted innovations file places Meteobot and digital climate monitoring under the Carbon Reduction and Net-Zero Policy and the university’s 2025–2027 sustainability agenda. Its description brings climate observation, research and practical education into the same university programme, giving the technical monitoring work an institutional basis.
The submitted energy and climate impact statement further describes continuous monitoring of environmental indicators as part of university decision-making. It identifies researchers, academic staff, students and administrative personnel as participants in research, training and public engagement, with knowledge disseminated through collaborations and community activity. Within the work relevant to this indicator, the university provides observations and analysis, maintains cooperation with government organisations, and communicates risk-related knowledge through public information and practical preparedness activities.
