Uzbekistan

This country note for Uzbekistan is part
of a series of country briefs that summarize information
relevant to climate change and agriculture for four pilot
countries in the Europe and Central Asia (ECA) Region, with
a particular focus on climate and crop projections,
adaptation options, policy development and institutional
involvement. The note series has been developed to provide a
baseline of knowledge on climate change and agriculture for
the pilot countries participating in the regional program on
reducing vulnerability to climate change in ECA agricultural
systems. For Uzbekistan, this note was shared with the
Government and other agricultural sector stakeholders and
used as an engagement tool for the National Awareness
Raising and Consultation Workshop on reducing vulnerability
to climate change in Uzbekistan s agricultural systems, held
in Tashkent in May 2010. Feedback and comments on the note
from this consultation process have been incorporated into
this updated version in collaboration with the Uzbekistan
Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources (MAWR).
