Synopsis (short abstract) Climate change is severely affecting mountain ecosystems, impacting people’s lives in high-altitude mountain regions (highstream) as well as in cities and environments (downstream populations) dependent on mountain goods and services.Effective adaptation strategies are required in response to climate change impacts in mountain regions. In order to better integrate scientific evidence and mountain people’s experience into international discussions, experts from Azerbaijan, Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia and Tajikistan met at the Ismaili Centre in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, from 9 to 11 November 2011. Organized by the Mountain Partnership Secretariat and the University of Central Asia in collaboration with the Government of Tajikistan, this meeting was held within the framework of the World Bank’s Development Grant Facility (DGF) on climate change impacts, adaptation and development in mountain regions.

    The report assesses the occurrence and impacts of drought, the current policies underlying drought management as well as the mitigation measures and responses adopted in Central Asia and Turkey, with a focus on Agriculture Sector. It is part of a series of similar studies carried out in different regions and countries of the world, with the objective of shedding light on drought effects, sensitizing policy-makers for the much needed paradigm shift to pro-active drought management planning and pr oviding guidance for the development of such policies. The studies are carried out by FAO, in collaboration with the Water for Food Institute, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA, as a direct contribution to FAO's Strategic Objective "Increasing the resilience of livelihoods to threats and crises".

    There is still very limited awareness, let alone concern, at the global-level of the impacts caused by climate change in mountain ecosystems. The information available generally focuses on retreating glaciers. while the perception may be one of regions with low population density in a harsh environment,the reality is magnitudes of people are affected directly and indirectly by changes in mountain environments. within the framework of the “Strategic Initiative for Climate Change Impacts, Adaptation and Development in Mountain Regions”, the Mountain Partnership Secretariat has organized three regional meetings in Chile, Tajikistan and Uganda with support of the world Bank Development Grant Facility.
