Meeting with UNECE Consultant on Climate Transformation Issues in Central Asia

On June 26, 2025, in Astana, a meeting of representatives of the founding states of the IFAS and the UNECE consultant, Doctor of Political Science Jon Marco Church took place at the office of the Executive Committee of the International Fund for Saving the Aral Sea.
J. Church is working on a nexus project within the International Climate Initiative (IKI) “Regional Arrangements for a Low-Carbon and Climate-Resilient Transformation of the Energy-Water-Land Nexus in Central Asia”, aimed at addressing the challenges associated with the energy-water-land nexus, which are exacerbated by climate change in Central Asia.
The meeting participants discussed positive examples, transboundary and regional activities in Central Asia that integrate water, energy and land management through intersectoral coordination. The experience of cooperation between the Fund’s founding states will be included in the report of the UNECE.
