Technical requirements: The consultancy service aims to implement Climate Risk Analysis (CRA) in selected river basins in Central Asia. The goal is to identify water-related climate risks and prioritize measures through stakeholder engagement. This will lead to the development of a Climate Risk Management Plan, which includes indicators, monitoring systems, and cost estimates for implementation. The consultancy also involves publishing project findings, consulting with authorities, and incorporating climate risk minimizing measures into regional development strategies.
Additionally, capacity development trainings will be organized in the selected river basins to support the sustainable drafting and updating of CRA and the utilization of its results in addressing local climate risks, vulnerabilities, and adaptation measures.
The project "Climate Risk Management in Central Asia" aims to improve transboundary climate and disaster risk management in the Central Asian region. It is a standalone project under the strategic reference of BMZ's core issue strategy "Responsibility for our planet - climate and energy." The module contributes to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to adaptation to climate change (SDG 13) and peace and security (SDG 16). The core problem addressed by the project is the lack of systematic and regionally coordinated consideration of climate and disaster risks by competent authorities in planning and implementation.
The target groups of the project include regional decision-makers, experts, and executives in responsible ministries and state authorities. The local population in the water basin areas is also considered an indirect target group. The political partners involved in the project are the State Committee for Ecology and Climate in Kyrgyzstan, the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources in Kazakhstan, the State Committee for Environmental Protection in Tajikistan, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment in Turkmenistan, and the State Committee for Ecology and Environmental Protection in Uzbekistan.
2. Improving the technical administrative foundations for transboundary early warning of hydrological disasters.
The overall duration of the project is from March 2022 to February 2026, spanning a period of four years.
