  • Development of low-cost rainwater harvesting to support on-site water supply in rural Tajikistan

    Year: 2023

    Collections:

    Topics: Water, IWRM

    Authors: Domullodzhanov D., Rahmatilloev R.

    Countries: Tajikistan

    Source: Central Asian Journal of Water Research

    Farmers in remote, arid areas, far from available water sources, need affordable water solutions for household and livestock use. In this study, the water needs and potential for rainwater harvesting (RWH) in the Kysylsu River Basin are estimated at different altitudes.

    Evaluation of transport corridor effects on sustainability: Kazakhstan case study

    Year: 2022

    Collections: Scientific Publications

    Topics: Sustainable Development, Transportation and logistics

    Authors: Taisarinova A.

    Countries: Kazakhstan

    Source: Central Asian Journal of Sustainability and Climate Research

    This research aimed to identify the implementation level of Task 9.1 (Sustainable Development Goal 9) in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The literature review under this study also allowed assessing the degree to which the transport corridors impact the sustainable development of the Central Asian Region. In addition, 97 companies were surveyed and 51 extended interviews were conducted as part of the CILT Central Asia Project to assess the effects of transport corridors on businesses. The study has revealed significant gaps in the SDG9 data collection system, specifically, the need to integrate indicators on the impacts of building new infrastructure in the information collection system for SDG9 evaluation.


    Management of sustainable industrial development: innovative search for an adaptive approach in Kyrgyzstan

    Year: 2022

    Collections: Scientific Publications

    Topics: Sustainable Development, Management

    Authors: Bobushev T. S.

    Countries: Kyrgyzstan

    From 1990 until today, diversification and in some cases a sharp decline of industrial production in Kyrgyzstan have not been properly accompanied by proactive planning and/or management strategies. The adopted 2019-2023 Strategy for Sustainable Industry Development of the Kyrgyz Republic [Decree of the Government of the KR, 2019], including its processing segment, mainly aims to foster the advancement of selected manufacturing sectors and exports, as well as to enhance the competitiveness of Kyrgyz-made industrial goods. Kyrgyzstan’s industry represents one of the key elements of the national economy contributing approx. 20.0% to its GDP [NSC, 2021].


    Measuring the Capacity for Adaptation to Climate Change in Central Asia

    Year: 2023

    Collections: Scientific Publications

    Topics: Climate

    Authors: Sabyrbekov R., Overland I.

    Countries: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan

    Source: Central Asian Journal of Sustainability and Climate Research

    Climate change poses a formidable threat to the Central Asian region, exacerbating preexisting vulnerabilities and necessitating enhanced adaptation efforts. The economic and environmental costs of these changing climatic conditions are substantial, compelling governments to bolster their adaptive capacity. In this study, we employ the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) adaptation framework and high-quality data to quantitatively measure the capacities of the Central Asian countries to adapt to the impacts of climate change.
