At a ministerial meeting during COP31 in Antalya, the "Climate-Resilient Landscapes in Central Asia" (CLiCA) regional program was presented. The project aims to combat the consequences of climate change in the region.
Significance for Kyrgyzstan
Minister of Natural Resources, Ecology and Technical Supervision Akyl Toktobayev noted the strategic importance of the initiative for the Kyrgyz Republic. As a high-altitude country with extensive glacial resources, the republic is particularly vulnerable to climate change.
According to the head of the agency, preserving mountain ecosystems, forests, and pastures is critically important not only for the country's ecology but also for ensuring water and food security for the entire region.
Areas of Work
- Restoration of degraded landscapes
- Implementation of climate-resilient methods
- Strengthening regional cooperation
The German government, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ), and the Green Climate Fund are participating in the implementation of the program.
