Tajikistan - Economic and Distributional Impact of Climate Change
Tajikistan is highly vulnerable to the
adverse impacts of global climate change, as it already
suffers from low agricultural productivity, water stress,
and high losses from disasters. Public awareness of the
multiple consequences of climate change is high, with
possible impacts on health, natural disasters, and
agriculture of greatest public concern. Climate change can
potentially deepen poverty by lowering agricultural yields,
raising food prices, and increasing the spread of
water-borne diseases as well as the frequency and severity
of disasters. Regions with greater dependence on agriculture
and lower socioeconomic indicators, particularly the east
mountain area of the Region of Republican Subordination
(RRS), the Southern Sughd hills, and Khatlon hills and
lowlands, are most vulnerable to climate change, with rural
areas more at risk than urban locations. Faster
socioeconomic development is the best tool for adaptation,
since greater income diversification, improved health and
education, and better access to services and infrastructure
enhance the capacity of households, particularly the poor,
for autonomous adaptation.
