The meeting was mainly based on the discussion on Climate Action and Inclusive growth.
UNDP’s mission in Kyrgyzstan has recently highlighted the issue of noticeable climate change affecting the whole of Central Asia.
Temperature fluctuations and land degradation are on the rise and so are water problems. The whole world faces the potential shortage of clean water and Kyrgyzstan is no exception.
UNDP training sessions:
Earlier this week, the UNDP Mission in the Kyrgyz Republic held a training session in which representatives from the national and local water management and climate risk management department were present.
The main topic of the training session was to integrate climate risks into water and basin management policies.

They also planned strategies for the implementation of policies related to Climate Action. In order to reduce harmful emissions and enhance resilience to climate-induced impacts.
UNDP Missions in different states have tried to build national and local policies in accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Climate Action is its 13th but a very important goal.
Consequently, Usha Rao thanked the Kyrgyz Republic for their support. The two parties vowed to work in partnership to cover Climate Ambition as well as inclusive growth in the State.
