Résumé

This Law defines the legal, economic and organizational basis for the protection of glaciers as environmental objects and strategic sources of water resources. Glacier shall be intended a huge mass of natural ice formed as a result of the transformation of solid atmospheric precipitation. State policy for the protection of glaciers includes a set of legal, organizational, economic, social, scientific, cultural and educational measures. State policy for the protection of glaciers is aimed at protecting and preserving glaciers as strategic sources of water resources for the benefit of the population, economic sectors, ensuring a sustainable ecological balance, preserving the habitat of rare and endangered species of flora and fauna. Glacier protection is based on the following basic principles: (a) priority of conservation of ecological systems associated with glaciers and taking into account the strategic importance of glaciers; (b) openness and transparency; (c) proportionality between the interests of society and measures to prevent the possible risk of glacier shrinkage; and (d) stimulation of scientific research into glaciation. Glaciers are the exclusive property of the state, and the state guarantees their protection. The Glacier Protection Fund of the Republic of Tajikistan is formed at the expense of international organizations, grants and other funds not prohibited by the legislation of the Republic of Tajikistan. Functions of state regulation of glacier protection shall be as follows: (a) coordination of state bodies; (b) study of glaciers; (c) research; (d) training and retraining of staff; and (e) dissemination of information. Glacier monitoring is carried out by conducting comprehensive long-term observation, studying, assessing and forecasting the natural state of glaciers, analyzing the process of the negative impact of climate change, other physical, chemical and biological impacts resulting from the influence of natural and anthropogenic factors, as well as the impact of glaciers on the environment and preparing relevant information about it.
