Climate Risk and Food Security: An Overview of Climate Trends and the Impact on Food Security – Kyrgyz Republic

This analytical report explores several key issues. For instance, it examines the historical relationship between the climate and food security, and also analyses the sensitivities of livelihoods to climate conditions and uses this information to identify who is potentially most at risk. We consider that this type of work is instrumental not only to advancing the climate change and food security dialogue in the Kyrgyz Republic, but also to providing concrete input for adaptation planning.
