Dilafruza Ismailova, Director of School No. 24 in the Qurgonteppa district of the Andijan region was among those recognized.

"The Youth Forum has become an important event for Central Asia, as it helps bring the younger generation together in their efforts to address environmental and water issues in the region," noted Saida Mustafaeva, Head of the Civil Society Institutions Department of Yuksalish. "The forum not just raises environmental awareness but also serves as a platform for building a sustainable future, where natural resources are used wisely and the environment and economy grow in harmony."

The forum created a platform for dialogue among the youth from the countries of the region, addressing important environmental issues aimed at shaping ecological thinking and more sustainable practices for using natural resources. The youth can become a driving force behind these changes, spreading knowledge and engaging local communities in environmental initiatives.
