Central Asia Climate Hotspot

Central Asia faces significant environmental, social, and political vulnerabilities due to the loss of common governance frameworks and the persistence of unsustainable agricultural and resource-based practices. These risks are compounded by the potential impacts of climate change, particularly indirect effects transmitted across borders through shared water resources, supply chains, and population movements.

• Central Asia is characterized by high environmental, social, and political vulnerability, exacerbated by the loss of a shared governance framework for managing common problems and a reliance on unsustainable resource-based and agricultural practices.
• Climate change introduces a significant layer of risk to the region, with a particular emphasis on indirect impacts that are transferred between countries via population flows, supply chains, and shared water resources.
