Turkmenistan is actively working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming. In 2020, the country acceded to the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer.

HFCs are used in many areas of economic activity, including refrigeration equipment and air conditioning systems.
