The final statement is as following:
We underscore that sand and dust storms are transboundary in nature and that their negative impacts are being observed in several states and remote regions; so, their repercussions are escalating from time to time in most areas of the globe.
The fact shows that a better understanding of the challenge, which has its route in sand and dust storms, needs robust collaboration and focus at the sub-regional, regional, and international levels.
The formation of a regional financial fund in the West Asia region in dealing with sand and dust storms, particularly corresponding to the ministers’ statement of the 2022 conference in Tehran, will be supported along with the voluntary contribution of member states, governmental and non-governmental organizations, private sector, development-oriented institutes, and regional development banks with the aim of pursuing sub-regional and regional action strategies.
