Специалисты ОФ «САМР Алатоо» усилили знания по оценке климатических рисков

СAMР Alatoo PF strengthens its expertise in climate risk assessment

Central Asia remains one of the regions most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Rising temperatures, recurring droughts, water scarcity, and land degradation are already significantly affecting public health, food and water security, and agriculture.

In response, a training on climate risk assessment was held in Taraz, Kazakhstan, focusing on the pilot basin of the Chon-Kemin River and bringing together experts from Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. The event was part of the GIZ project “Climate Risk Management,” supported by Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).

Trainers from the СAMР Alatoo PF, who previously received training in climate risk assessment methodology, now shared their knowledge with local stakeholders — including community representatives and organizations working in water resource management. This approach not only helps raise awareness but also contributes to identifying priority adaptation measures at the basin level.

Specialists from СAMР Alatoo PF also participated in the training as learners, further strengthening the Foundation’s own capacity. The training applied a gender-sensitive and transboundary approach, which is crucial for shared river basins.

The event in Taraz marked the beginning of a series of national and regional trainings planned for the summer of 2025 across Central Asian countries.
