Glaciers and Water Resources Project Proposal for Central Asian Countries
The project proposal involves a comprehensive plan to assess, monitor, and forecast risks related to glaciers and water resources in Central Asian countries, focusing on enhancing adaptive capacity to climate impacts. It includes the creation of a Regional Atlas of Dangerous Transboundary Exogenous Geodynamic Processes, climate finance for adaptation and technology demonstration, and capacity strengthening of hydrometeorological services. The project aims to promote regional cooperation, stakeholders' inclusion, and the exchange of climate data to address common challenges in the region.

Project Description Project Location / Geographic Focus Regional, Central Asian countries Main characteristics of the project 1. Strengthening the adaptive capacity of Central Asian countries to climate impacts via glaciers risk assessment, monitoring and forecasting Creation of a Regional Atlas of Dangerous Transboundary Exogenous Geodynamic Processes, including natural hazards (GLOFs, mudflows, landslides, avalanches, dust storms and droughts) via a GIS platform Climate finance for adaptation, technologies and best practices demonstration for water resources, land and forest management, agricultural production Regional cooperation and stakeholders inclusion, capacity strengthening of hydromets (technical equipment, training); 2. 3. 4. INTERNAL. This information is accessible to ADB Management and staff. It may be shared outside ADB with appropriate permission.
Why is it important as a CAREC project? 1. Regional assessment of the water resources and application of a unified approach to glacier monitoring and disaster risk forecasting, and use of innovative technologies international best practices, in Central Asia; 2. Improved drought risk assessment to identify most vulnerable areas and develop adaptation plans (drought is a regional problem, the experience gained in one country could be replicated in another). 3. Improved cooperation between countries on climate data exchange. INTERNAL. This information is accessible to ADB Management and staff. It may be shared outside ADB with appropriate permission.
