Climate Risk Assessment Guide – Central Asia

The Climate Risk Assessment Guide – Central Asia provides a practical process for assessing climate-related impacts on lives and livelihoods in Central Asia, aiming to support sub-national climate risk management and sustainable development policy in five countries.

• The Climate Risk Assessment Guide – Central Asia was created to provide a practical process for assessing how climate-related events impact livelihoods and lives in Central Asia. This need is driven by the region's arid climate, the nature of its livelihood systems, significant damage from climate events, and infrastructure that is not designed for current climate risk capacities.
• Short-term and long-term climate risks are identified as threats to developmental sustainability and poverty reduction. The guide suggests that existing reports on climate impacts in Central Asia should be supplemented with results that downscale the understanding of these impacts to better support climate risk management at the sub-national level.
• The guide is part of a CDKN-funded project titled 'Developing integrated Climate Risk Assessment for CCD planning in Central Asia'. The project's goals include creating a regional climate risk assessment methodology and national climate risk profiles to establish regional boundary conditions and a knowledge base for integrating climate risk management into sustainable development policy across five Central Asian countries.
