Regional Mechanisms for a Low-Carbon and Climate-Resilient Transformation of the Energy-Water-Land Nexus in Central Asia
The Project aims to address the challenges of the interdependence between energy, water and land use, the so-called nexus, that are exacerbated by climate change, in Central Asia.
Through the Project, economic and financial analytical work at regional and national level will be enhanced and nexus-relevant financing opportunities will be explored and identified. The Project will demonstrate the “business case” for co-operation on the nexus, enhance capacity needed for operationalising the nexus approach, and create political momentum for action.
