Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
The Green Climate Fund approved $139 million to fund a regional project helping Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan manage climate change impacts.
The program aims to address rising temperatures, drought, water stress, and land degradation. It combines national reforms with local investments to improve land information systems and integrate climate considerations into regional planning. The project also seeks to strengthen the ability of local financial institutions to fund climate-resilient investments.
The project will support adaptation plans, forest and pasture restoration, and climate-resilient farming in 180 municipalities. It will provide training, advisory services, and matching grants to small-scale farmers and pasture users who lack access to commercial loans. The initiative also includes a regional component to share knowledge and manage landscapes across national borders, with an expected impact on approximately 939,000 hectares of land.
