On Friday, February 7, at 12:00 p.m. ET, the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center and the International Tax and Investment Center will co-host a hybrid report launch event on water resources and strategies for interstate cooperation in Central Asia.
Water insecurity in Central Asia threatens more than 82 million people who call the largely arid region home. Climate change, population growth, infrastructure problems, a lack of government foresight, and the unequal distribution of precious water resources have induced a dire state of water insecurity in the C5 nations—Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Outside of these factors, geopolitical and interstate tensions affect and shape water security in the region, as well.
A new Atlantic Council report, Water insecurity in Central Asia: The imperative for regional and international cooperation, details the developing water crises in Central Asia and outlines strategies to combat water insecurity in the region.
