| Summary: | The Kyrgyz Republic is bordered by
Kazakhstan to the north, Uzbekistan to the west, Tajikistan
to the southwest, and China to the east. A wide variety of
natural hazards also affect the Kyrgyz Republic. Earthquakes
are common and have led to loss of life and significant
damage to infrastructure and livelihoods, typically
occurring every 5 to 10 years. Climate related hazards are
also common and diverse. This document aims to succinctly
summarize the climate risks faced by PNG. This includes
rapid onset and long-term changes in key climate parameters,
as well as impacts of these changes on communities,
livelihoods, and economies, many of which are already
underway. This is a high-level synthesis of existing
research and analyses, focusing on the geographic domain of
PNG, therefore potentially excluding some international
influences and localized impacts. The core data presented is
sourced from the database sitting behind the World Bank
Group’s (WBG) climate change knowledge portal (CCKP),
incorporating climate projections from the Coupled Model
Inter-comparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5). This document is
primarily meant for WBG and Asian Development Bank (ADB)
staff to inform their climate actions. The document also
aims to direct the reader to many useful sources of
secondary data and research. |
