Kyrgyzstan ranks third most vulnerable to climate change impacts in Central Asia

The University of Central Asia’s (UCA) Mountain Societies Research Institute (MSRI) conducted household surveys to measure climate resilience trends. MSRI’s used a new tool for household surveys, which uses generalised and shock-specific subjective resilience measures to evaluate households, and take into account different contexts and demographics. On 13 April, UCA’s MSRI, in collaboration with the London School of Economics, organised a workshop on Predicting Future Food Security: A New Method for Measuring Resilience Using Data from Kyrgyzstan. The workshop mainly targeted stakeholders involved in the practical aspects of planning, delivering and/or analysing field surveys on the topics of food security, climate change adaptation and development.
