Based on the results of the call for proposals announced by the Alliance of Central Asian Mountain Communities (AGOCA).
For centuries, the villagers of mountainous regions are trying to deal with the challenges that climate change throws at them. This happens due to irrational water distribution in the mountains of Tian Shan, Pamirs and Alai, which is characterized by reduction of water resources in one region because of its excess in another. The recent rapid melting of glaciers serves as an early indicator of climate change.
Therefore, the existing needs in adaptation and capacity building exceed the level of opportunities that local communities possess. This publication aims on setting up the question on effectiveness of the traditional adaptation practices in changing conditions and gives recommendations to governments, development agencies and all the stakeholders to invest technological changes in order to provide the access of local communities to financial resources for adaptation goals.
Get acquainted with best traditional practices on adaptation, which have been chosen within a joint initiative of AGOCA and Central Asian Mountain Hub (CAMH) on creation of the regional network of Central Asian villages on climate changes.
