AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGIES FOR ADAPTING TO CLIMATE CHANGE

​

Climate change is a global issue of our time. It threatens the countries of Central Asia with significant reductions in water resources, increased risks to public health, employment and food security, and ecosystem degradation.

​

The project of the Central Asian Regional Environmental Center “Adaptation to Climate Change and Mitigation of Its Consequences in the Aral Sea Basin” (CAMP4ASB) within the framework of the dissemination of accessible technologies in Central Asia for adaptation to climate change at the local level in May-October this year to conduct a series of educational trainings in Central Asian countries with theoretical and practical exercises.

​

The trainings will be aimed at raising awareness and potential of small farmers and households, small and medium enterprises, local communities, associations and NGOs on the use of climate-resilient technologies at the local level in the field of energy, water management and food production. Trainings include reports, videos, other materials on climate change issues and measures taken in Central Asian countries. Project experts will talk about affordable climate-friendly technologies, show examples of their manufacture and application on the basis of farms and individual farms with such experience.

​

More than 700 participants in the training will create further sustainable local and national networks for the dissemination of such technologies. Special trainings will be held in each country for women, who make up a significant part of the local population and are more vulnerable to the social, economic and environmental risks associated with climate change.

​

Practical exercises include a technology demonstration and joint exercises aimed at mastering the skills of self-production and use of affordable and climate-resistant technologies in the energy, agriculture and water sectors.
