Climate Risk Manageent

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).
