Project Description Project Location / Geographic Focus Regional Project Main Features 1. Regional Platform for sharing data, knowledge, experience share insights for the development of Early-Warning Systems 2. Identify common challenges and risks as basis for the development of regional future common approach and policy about the development of EWS 3. A centralized hub for monitoring and disseminating early warning information including potential new directions that existing national Early-Warning Systems do not cover (heatwaves, droughts) 4. An initiative/declaration for the establishment of the EWS platform ahead of COP 29; Azerbaijan s commitment and readiness to host the CAREC EW Center. INTERNAL.

Why is it important as a CAREC project? 1. Regional Platform where region states can share their approaches and steps, as well as share challenges they faced and how these challenges were overcome in the developing of National Early-Warning Systems 2. Potential instrument with necessary technical and financial backing to expand existing National Early-Warning Systems 3. Advanced preparedness for climate change, strengthen cooperation between CAREC countries, capacity building, knowledge enhancement INTERNAL.

Project Name and Geographic Focus Project Name CAREC Regional Policy on Adaptation of Mountainous Eco- systems Presented by Kakha Lomashvili, Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture of Georgia Proposed by: Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan INTERNAL. This information is accessible to ADB Management and staff. It may be shared outside ADB with appropriate permission.
Project Description Project Location / Geographic Focus Regional Project Main Features 1. Identifying common challenges and risks; 2. Identifying areas for technical assistance and researches/studies and based on gained information/analysis, the development of common policy or at least specific regional activities. 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. As all CAREC members are mountainous countries and climate change adaptation is one of organizations' priority directions, common policy on the Adaptation of Mountainous Eco-systems could be beneficial for everyone; 2. Potentially, the best case scenario, development of common CAREC Mountainous Eco-systems Adaptation Policy. If not possible, the development of region-wide projects to promote adaptation of Mountainous Eco-systems. INTERNAL. This information is accessible to ADB Management and staff.
