Climate Risk Management

Summary

The project is undertaking risk assessments in 17 countries to better understand both near-term climate variability and long-term climate change. These assessments will help define how changing climate patterns are likely to impact on development and other key socio-economic sectors, such as agriculture and healthcare. The project covers Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.

Expected Outcome

• Strengthened institutional frameworks and technical capacity to manage climate change risks and opportunities in an integrated manner
• Development of climate-resilient strategies, policies and legislation in priority sectors and geographic areas
• Expanded financing options to meet national climate change adaptation costs
• Implementation of climate change adaptation interventions in priority sectors
• Disseminated knowledge on how to incorporate climate change knowledge and risks into development processes at national, sub-national and local levels
