Project description
Climate change in Central Asia mountain regions will have significant impacts on water availability and occurrence of natural hazards. This project strengthens the glacier, snow and permafrost monitoring systems and capacities in Central Asia, develops user-oriented climate information services, and supports the planning of adaptation measures to increase resilience to climate change. The project builds on Swiss expertise in monitoring and adaptation in alpine water and disaster risk management.
Expected Results
1) State-of-the-art cryospheric monitoring systems are established in KG, KZ and TJ 2) Local scientists from KG, KZ, TJ and UZ (with a strong focus on women) are trained in data generation and processing 3) Climate information services for medium and long-term prediction of water availability and hazards are developed with local partners 4) Local implementing partners inform policy makers on climate impacts in the cryosphere through national and regional science-policy dialogues 5) Adaptation measures are conceptualized in four catchments in KG and TJ together with national partners (basin planning and disaster management authorities)
