| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Climate change impact on ecosystems brings along changes in genetic, species, and ecosystem biodiversity The effect of climate change on water resources is particularly manifest in Central Asia. In this region, water resources are crucial for a wide range of issues related to national and regional security. Providentially Climate change could magnify the risk of floods, mudflows and landslides in the mountains, including glacier-related hazards. The Central Asian countries are still failing to develop and implement strategies on how to deal with climate change, which could have very serious consequences for the region. Finding the balance between energy generation, such as large-scale hydropower, and water provision for large-scale agriculture is difficult and politically sensitive. |
