Project Title: Climate Change and Security in Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the Southern Caucasus
General Information
Project Area
• Eastern Europe / Belarus, Moldova, Ukraine • Southern Caucasus / Armenia, Azerbaijan Georgia • Central Asia / Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan
Overall Project Aims
“to support regional stability through transboundary co-operation on adaptation to the consequences of climate change”
Specific Objectives:
1. Key stakeholders in three regions better informed on security implications of climate change
2. Key stakeholders capacitated to mainstream security considerations of climate change into adaptation plans and strategies to counteract risks
3. Enhanced regional co-operation in developing climate change adaptation strategies & implementing existing ones
Overview – Main Activities
1.1 Participatory assessments of security impacts of climate change
Vulnerability assessments to identify security hot-spots of climate change and to map them through:
•Desk studies for the three regions•National and regional consultations in Eastern Europe (Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus), Central Asia and the Southern Caucasus
Implementing Organizations: UNEP, OSCE, UNDP, REC
Project Activities
Overview – Main Activities
1.2 Dissemination of information on security impacts of climate change & required adaptation measures
• Preparation of materials & results from assessments for each region • Public hearings/information meetings (2 in Eastern Europe –
Ukraine & Moldova) • Public outreach through Aarhus Centres & project website
Implementing Organizations: OSCE, UNEP, UNDP
Project Activities
Overview – Main Activities
2.1 Dniester river basin/transboundary climate change adaptation strategy, implementation plan & implementation of selected measures – Pilot Region
•Development of transboundary adaptation strategy incl. joint vulnerability assessment•Development of implementation plan & resource mobilization strategy•Implementation of few selected transboundary adaptation measures •Climate change impacts mainstreamed into national and basin-wide water management policies, river basin management plans, etc.•Share Dniester adaptation strategy as best practise example
Implementing Organizations: OSCE, UNECE
Project Activities
Overview – Main Activities
2.2 Training of key stakeholders on security impacts of climate change and adaptation measures
• Development of training syllabus based on assessment & pilot adaptation phase (Dniester river basin)
• Training of stakeholders on unified methodology for regional Climate Risk Assessment (how to identify hot spots, results of the Dniester pilot projects as illustrative materials)
• Training on preparation & implementation of an adaptation strategy
Implementing Organization: REC
