Human-induced climate change is not only an environmental phenomenon, but also one of the main security threats of the 21st century. Rising sea levels, more frequent weather extremes and the growing risk of environmental disasters are increasingly depriving people all over the world of their livelihoods. Climate change is therefore becoming a great risk multiplier that threatens the stability of countries and societies.
Climate change also poses a growing security risk in Central Asia and Afghanistan, where it has a particularly severe impact on glaciers and on natural resources such as water, land and soil. This has consequences for food security and affects migrant flows and the stability of the region as a whole.
The aim of Green Central Asia is to create better access to information and risk analyses in order to enable countries to assess the impact of climate change more accurately and to take preventive measures. At the same time, dialogues and workshops will increase decision-makers’ abilities to address climate-change related security risks adequately at the national and regional levels. Scientific collaboration will support the expansion of national expertise, with the aim of identifying adequate solutions to the challenges posed by climate change.
