  • At #Unison Group, we believe in building not just structures, but sustainable futures. Together with IOM - UN Migration Agency in Kyrgyzstan, we’re not just building homes—we’re building a future. Through the groundbreaking project, «Promoting the inclusion of internal migrants in green renovation in Kyrgyzstan» implemented by #Unison with financial support from the #Development Fund of the International Organisation for Migration IOM - UN Migration, we are paving the way for a greener, more inclusive #Kyrgyzstan. This project isn’t just about green construction—it’s about hope, empowerment and progress. It’s about equipping internal #migrants, women and vulnerable groups with tools to actively participate in creating sustainable, energy-efficient homes and communities. Our Key Milestones So Far: 🔹 Formed a working group with key government stakeholders to ensure alignment and guidance for project implementation 🔹 Policy dialogue for inclusion of internal migrants in the Green Economy Programme of the Kyrgyz Republic for 2024-2027 🔹 Integrated green reconstruction components in 12 female-headed internal migrant households 🔹 Developed climate-resilient, earthquake-resistant building designs—accessible and practical for all communities 🔹 Reached thousands through information campaign, educating communities on the benefits and accessibility of green building projects Our plans: 🔹 Training 40 women beneficiaries in green reconstruction practices and supported 12 female-headed migrant households in implementing green renovation projects. 🔹 Conducted capacity-building workshops for 140 technical staff from the State Agency for Construction, empowering them to adopt and promote sustainable construction practices. 🔹 Further reaching information campaign, educating communities on the benefits and accessibility of green building projects. This initiative is more than numbers—it's about people, partnerships and progress. It’s about giving #women and #communities the tools to transform their lives while contributing to #climate resilience and #sustainable development. With the support of our partners, ministries and local communities, we envision a Kyrgyzstan where sustainable construction is not the exception but the norm. #UNISON Group thanks IOM - UN Migration Agency in Kyrgyzstan , #Ministry of Labour, Social Security and Migration of the Kyrgyz Republic, #Union of Architects and other partners for continuous collaboration. Would like to learn more and work with #UNISONGroup, then reach out us for collaboration.

  • For two weeks, UNISON Group actively participated in the COP29 Azerbaijan in #Baku, #Azerbaijan, contributing to the global climate dialogue and advancing #Kyrgyzstan’s agenda for sustainability and resilience.

  • On 15th November , at #COP29 in the Blue Zone (Pavilion F8), we had the honor of hosting a side event: Green Buildings for Climate Action: Best Practices for Low-Carbon Development and Enablers for Regional Integration. It was truly inspiring to engage with experts and speakers who shared their invaluable insights on how green building practices can help Central Asia achieve its climate goals. With the region’s average temperatures rising 1.5 times faster than the global average, energy-efficient, resource-conscious building solutions are crucial to addressing challenges like shrinking water resources, soil degradation, and unsustainable urban growth. Our discussions revolved around: ✅ Integrating green building standards into Nationally Determined Contributions (#NDCs). ✅ Fostering regional collaboration for climate resilience. ✅ Promoting sustainable, low-carbon construction practices to decouple urban growth from greenhouse gas emissions. A heartfelt thank you to our incredible speakers and panelists: Nurzat Abdyrasulova, Shubhi Goel Begim Zhanuzakova Fuad Bagirov Arti Ahluwalia Guy, Rovana Reale Bortolini Martin Heibel and Interreg NEXT MED for sharing best practices and innovative solutions that can drive transformative change across the region. Together, we’re laying the foundation for a sustainable future in construction and aligning our efforts to meet the Paris Agreement targets. Let’s maintain this momentum and work towards a resilient, low-carbon Central Asia! #UNISONgroup #COP29 #GreenBuildings #ClimateAction #CentralAsia #EnergyEfficiency
