Short Bio / Excerpt:
Dr. Bakhtiyor Alimovich Pulatov is a highly distinguished Uzbek climate scientist, environmental researcher, and senior public administrator who currently serves as the Rector of the Central Asian University of Environmental and Climate Change Studies (Green University). Renowned for his academic rigor and technical expertise in geo-information sciences and agricultural ecosystem modeling, Dr. Pulatov has spent decades at the absolute forefront of environmental governance and sustainable resource management across Central Asia. His multi-faceted career seamlessly bridges high-level academic research with transformative public policy initiatives, establishing him as a crucial figure in tackling the severe ecological and climate-induced crises facing the region, including soil degradation, water scarcity, and rising average temperatures.
Dr. Pulatov’s academic journey reflects a commitment to mastering cutting-edge environmental technologies and methodologies through rigorous international training. He pursued his higher education across Uzbekistan, the Netherlands, and Sweden, ultimately earning his PhD from Lund University, an institution recognized globally for its advanced scientific research. His specialized doctoral and post-doctoral work focused heavily on the application of spatial geoinformation systems (GIS) and remote sensing data to evaluate climate change impacts on agricultural ecosystems. By developing highly sophisticated models to predict crop yields and soil moisture under varying climate scenarios, he provided the scientific community with critical tools needed to design resilient adaptation strategies for arid and semi-arid zones.
Upon returning to Uzbekistan, Dr. Pulatov channelled his international training into local institution-building, taking on pivotal academic and administrative leadership positions within the country’s premier research institutes and environmental monitoring bodies. He directed numerous state-funded and internationally backed research projects that specifically targeted the fragile ecosystems of the Aral Sea basin, analyzing the socioeconomic and ecological fallout of one of the world's worst man-made environmental disasters. His ability to distill complex meteorological data and satellite imagery into actionable environmental metrics quickly caught the attention of state planners, positioning him as a trusted advisor to national environmental committees and accelerating his transition from pure academic research into executive public administration.
Recognizing the need for institutionalized environmental education to secure the region's future, Dr. Pulatov was appointed as the Rector of the newly established Green University, a landmark institution founded under the Ministry of Ecology, Environmental Protection and Climate Change of the Republic of Uzbekistan. In this executive capacity, he has been instrumental in shaping the university's strategic roadmap, designing interdisciplinary curricula that merge environmental law, green economy principles, and climate science, while forging robust academic partnerships with leading global universities and international organizations. His regional leadership was further elevated when he was elected as a member of the World Commission on Environmental Law (WCEL) under the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), allowing him to represent Central Asian ecological interests on a prominent global stage.
Beyond his institutional duties at Green University, Dr. Pulatov remains deeply involved in advising state legislative bodies on the implementation of green technologies and the modernization of environmental protection laws in Uzbekistan. He frequently leads high-level national delegations at international climate summits, advocating for increased climate finance, technology transfers, and collaborative cross-border water management frameworks among Central Asian states. Through his dual roles as an academic visionary and a policy architect, Dr. Pulatov continues to champion an integrated approach to sustainability, ensuring that scientific innovation directly informs the legal and economic frameworks necessary to build a climate-resilient future for his nation.
