Climate change, co2 emission, and economic development: evidence from Kazakhstan

Year: 2023

Collections: Scientific Publications

Topics: Climate

Authors: Tleppayev A., Zeinolla S.

Countries:

Source: Central Asian Journal of Sustainability and Climate Research

This study aims to identify the relationship between CO2 emissions and economic growth to assess the influence on climate change. Design: The algorithm was chosen for research provision: statistical and comparative analysis, correlation, and regression analysis. The data for 1999-2020 was obtained from the World Bank and the Bureau of National Statistics. Results: After looking at the conditions and factors that affect Kazakhstan’s energy system, we believe it is essential to study how different factors affect economic growth, with a focus on environmental change. The results of modeling with regression models back this up. The model demonstrated that energy consumption has the most significant influence on CO2 emissions; however, in the GDP model, all factors, such as urbanization, energy consumption, and energy pricing, had an equal impact.


Экологическая безопасность развития электроэнергетики в регионе Центральной Азии

Year: 2023

Collections: Scientific Publications

Topics: Energy

Authors: Трофимов Г., Насиров Т.Х., Хамидов Ш.В.

Countries: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan

Source: Цетральноазиатский журнал исследования климата и устойчивого развития

В статье рассматриваются экологические проблемы дальнейшего развития энергосистем Центральной Азии (ЦА) на базе традиционных и возобновляемых источников энергии (ВИЭ). Для понимания существующей ситуации с энергетикой и экологией в странах ЦА описан их энергетический профиль и состояние энергетического сектора, используемое топливо, уровень энергоэффективности и износа энергооборудования, уровень потребляемой ими первичной энергии и показана картина распределения выбросов CO2 в этих странах. Однако, учитывая, что в регионе ЦА Казахстан и Узбекистан лидируют и по потребляемой энергии, и по величине выбросов парниковых газов, в статье в большей степени рассматриваются существующие проблемы именно в этих странах.

Spatio-temporal patterns of different tree species response to climatic factors in south Kyrgyzstan

Year: 2023

Collections: Scientific Publications

Topics: Climate

Authors: Kulikov M., Shibkov E., Isaev E., Azarov A., Sidle R.

Countries: Kyrgyzstan

Source: Central Asian Journal of Sustainability and Climate Research

Understanding forest phenology is essential for monitoring global carbon budgets and managing vegetation resources in a changing climate. In southern Kyrgyzstan, walnut and wild apple trees dominate the forest landscape. These forests contain unique genetic diversity and offer potential for the development of climate-resilient crop varieties. They also support local communities through activities such as grazing, firewood collection, and fruit harvesting. However, these practices pose a threat to natural regeneration. Climate change exacerbates these challenges by altering their ecological niche. Despite this, few studies have examined forest phenology and its relationship to climate in Kyrgyzstan.


Anthropogenic Impacts in the Yesil River Basin

Year: 2023

Collections: Research Paper

Topics: Water

Authors: Makhmudova L., Mussina A., Ospanova M., Zharylkassyn A., Kanatuly A.

Countries: Kazakhstan

Source: Central Asian Journal of Water Research

The research aimed to assess the impact of human economic activities on the Yesil River Basin based on the observational data contained in Kazhydromet’s (Republic State Enterprise, RSE) hydrometeorological periodicals of 1933-2019. The additional analysis of numerous sources – statistics digests, online data of the Bureau of National Statistics under the Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan (RK), monographs and scientific papers also allowed to reliably evaluate the overall water consumption in the country.


Water corruption in Central Asia: A rapid review

Year: 2023

Collections: Research Paper

Topics: Water

Authors: Mukhtarova A.

Countries: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan

Source: Central Asian Journal of Water Research

Academic scholarship defines sectoral corruption, namely water corruption one of the main threats to the development of Central Asia. While applying a rapid review, the purpose of this article is to explore the current state of research on water corruption, its various forms, and typologies in different water sectors (such as water supply and sanitation, irrigation, hydropower, and water resources management).


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.


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

Water availability for bioenergy in Kazakhstan: Review, preliminary results, and key points

Year: 2023

Collections: Scientific Publications

Topics: Water

Authors: Karatayev M.

Countries: Kazakhstan

Source: Central Asian Journal of Sustainability and Climate Research

In transitional countries with arid climates, water stress is rising as the demand for water rises with population, economic growth, and intensive development of agriculture and energy and change in climate environment. In this regard, transitional nations plan in national programmes and policies alternative energy sources, sustainable food development, and circular water resource usage. However, these nations frequently approach current water, energy, and food planning without taking interactions of these resources and their impact on each other into account. This paper intends to demonstrate the significance of the water, energy, and food nexus approach for Central Asian countries in transition.
