Regional mechanisms for the low-carbon, climate-resilient transformation of the energy-water-land Nexus in Central Asia - Preparation phase

The challenges of the interdependence between energy, water and land use, are exacerbated by climate change in Central Asia. The project enhances economic and financial analytical work at regional and national level and nexus-relevant financing opportunities will be explored and identified. It 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. The project facilitates the political and technical dialogue for implementing the nexus approach and enhances regional co-operation in various regional and national conferences and capacity development activities. Such tools and knowledge products will also facilitate further engagement with the private sector in nexus-related investments by providing enhanced evidence on the benefits and trade-offs that are inherent to nexus projects.
