This report presents a preliminary climate risk profile for Kyrgyzstan, focusing on the correlation between climate factors and disasters, as well as impacts on crop production and livelihoods. Developed by CAMP Alatoo and UNDP, the assessment identifies floods and flash floods as the most damaging climate-related disasters, with significant risks concentrated in the south-western Oblasts, particularly Batken, Jalal Abad, and Osh. The report also highlights gender-specific vulnerabilities and a gap between expert assessments and local perceptions of risk in the Suusamyr Valley.
