Green, Resilient Recovery in Energy and Agriculture sectors in Tajikistan

The proposal seeks USD 444,823 over 18 months to enhance the climate adaptive capacities of rural communities in Tajikistan. It focuses on the energy and agriculture sectors, which are identified as highly vulnerable to climate change and significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions. The project aims to develop a National Green Recovery Strategy, a roadmap for utilizing international carbon markets to finance climate-smart technologies, and two pro-poor Concept Notes for future GCF investment. This initiative addresses the intersection of climate vulnerability and the economic setbacks caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which reduced rural family incomes by 30% due to declining remittances.

• Tajikistan is considered the most vulnerable country to climate change in the Europe-Central Asia region, with over 90% of its land being mountainous terrain.
• The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated rural vulnerability in Tajikistan, contributing to a 30% decline in average rural family income as labor migrants were forced to return home.
• The agriculture and energy sectors are the primary sources of greenhouse gas emissions in Tajikistan, collectively accounting for more than half of the country's total CO2eq emissions.
• Tajikistan's energy sector is highly vulnerable to climate change due to its extreme dependence on hydropower, with 97% of energy generation coming from this source.
• The proposal identifies a critical investment gap in the agriculture sector regarding the implementation of drought-resilient seeds, despite this being a national priority in the National Climate Change Adaptation Strategy (NCCAS).
• The project intends to utilize international compliance markets under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement and voluntary carbon markets to finance energy efficiency and climate-smart agriculture.
• The proposed project budget is USD 444,823, to be implemented over an 18-month period by the Committee for Environmental Protection (CEP).
• The project's primary objectives include the creation of a National Green Recovery Strategy, a carbon market roadmap, and two pro-poor Concept Notes for the energy and agriculture sectors.
