Abstract:

This publication on Central Asia provides visual information on current global and regional climate change impacts and areas of concerns, reports on greenhouse gas emission sources and trends, and presents the regional and country efforts to transition to clean energy.

The information sources include official country information from the national communications to the UNFCCC, other international and domestic information such as statistics and news reports, and scientific papers.These data sources vary in terms of methodology, reference years and completeness, and the combination of international and domestic sources gives readers a regional summary that uses information as diverse and comparable as possible. Information reported by the countries is available on the UNFCCC and country websites, but regional reporting is harder to find.
