The Regional Climate Change Adaptation Strategy in Central Asia builds momentum for collective implementation

Project context

The Regional Climate Change Adaptation Strategy in Central Asia (RCCAS) provides a strong basis for cooperation within and among the Central Asia countries of Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. The strategy is intended to lead to the collective implementation of concrete adaptation measures at national and regional levels. In order to support this process, develop recommendations for implementation, and involve as many relevant stakeholders as possible, CLI conducted a participatory consultation mission among key actors in Central Asia.
