The Law “On Environmental Information” requires organizations to disclose data on the state of soils, waters, flora and fauna, and to provide information regarding pollutants, hazardous chemicals and waste. To do this, they will have to carry out environmental monitoring, which is in their "jurisdiction", to make an environmental assessment of their economic activity.
Organizations whose activities can affect the well-being of the environment should disclose environmental information at the request of the media and individuals, publish environmental reports on their official websites on the Internet, and voluntarily submit it to the State Environmental Information Fund.
The fund will operate under the Ministry of Agriculture and Environmental Protection of Turkmenistan, providing relevant environmental information to government agencies, local governments, legal entities and individuals.
