Project description
The project aims to strengthen institutional capacity and cross-border cooperation among Central Asian countries. The programme contributes to the nationally-agreed Sustainable Development Goals on climate change adaptation (SDG 13) and peace and security (SDG 16). The project advises watershed associations, a regional disaster management centre and stakeholders from individual watershed councils to develop capacity for transboundary water-related climate risk reduction. It is planned that together with the Green Central Asia project, the module will support the Executive Committee of the International Fund for Saving the Aral Sea (EC IFAS) in relation to transboundary water management in the light of climate change. The high level policy dialogue processes organised by Green Central Asia are supported by the project through national and regional policy dialogue projects and thus a regional agenda is achieved to identify common approaches (output level).
Expected Results
More than 150 experts from government agencies and regional organizations were able to improve their knowledge and skills in climate change adaptation through participation in training seminars, conferences, and thematic study trips. The programme supported the organisation of several high-level conferences: the Regional Forum – Meeting of the Heads of Emergency Authorities of Central Asian countries and the Central Asia Climate Change Conference. These important platforms facilitate the exchange of experiences and discussion on the development of joint strategies in climate change adaptation and disaster risk management. Eleven partner organizations received new equipment (computers, servers), software, or special gear for work (such as climbing gear, drones for field research, etc.). Five transboundary basins were selected for climate risk assessment. The assessment results will help determine measures to mitigate the consequences of climate change and ways to implement them locally.
