Context
Central Asia is among the regions of the world most affected by and vulnerable to climate change. The region’s water, food and energy security are not only threatened by the warming climate, but also by environmental degradation and human interventions.
In the last four years, Green Central Asia has established a political, technical and scientific dialogue. It makes a decisive contribution to raising awareness about the importance of regional cooperation on climate security. The governments of the five Central Asian countries adopted a Regional Joint Action Plan in November 2021. Joint activities include a policy dialogue facilitated by inter-governmental working groups, as well as priority projects on climate-sensitive water, land and climate risk management. The centrepiece of the policy dialogue is the elaboration of the Regional Climate Change Adaptation Strategy adopted by all five Central Asian countries.
