Climate-sensitive water resources management in Central Asia Climate change is intensifying the geopolitical, socio-economic and environmental tensions around water, energy and land use in Central Asia. This arid region is already suffering glacier shrinkage and desertification, along with extreme events such as flooding and droughts. Since the majority of water resources are transboundary and are dwindling as a result of climate change and human activity, good cross-border cooperation based on trust is of immense importance. The report published in 2022 by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change expects climate change to have a massive impact on food security – for example in the form of harvest failures or rising food prices. Objective Regional cooperation on water resources management in Central Asia has been consolidated. A climate-sensitive, integrated approach to water resources management is also being taken. |
