Greening Dushanbe: A City’s Roadmap to a Cleaner, Resilient Future

Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan, is taking bold steps toward a more sustainable and livable future. In 2012, the city joined the EBRD Green Cities program and began developing its Green City Action Plan (GCAP) to tackle long-standing environmental challenges and set a new course for climate-resilient urban growth.

Like many growing cities, Dushanbe faces pressure from all sides—aging infrastructure, air pollution, energy inefficiencies, and environmental degradation. The GCAP was created to address these challenges head-on and to guide the city’s green transformation.

This case study was drafted as part of the Subnational Supplement of the Climate Investment Planning and Mobilization Framework.
