GOAL 13: CLIMATE ACTION
While Eastern Europe and Central Asia is not a major producer of greenhouse gas emissions, the region is suffering disproportionately from the consequences of climate change.
Floods in the Western Balkans have destroyed homes and displaced thousands of people. Shrinking glaciers and dwindling water resources in Central Asia could seriously impact irrigation and hydropower generation. Moldova and southern Ukraine are experiencing severe droughts, with major agricultural losses.
But across the region, people are mobilising to cut greenhouse gas emissions, save lives, and help communities cope, including via the Climate-resilient flood risk management in Bosnia and Herzegovina project. This projects is working to enable communities of the Vrbas River Basin to proactively manage flood risk. Project activities include integrating climate change into key sectoral policies - such as in land use and spatial planning, forestry, agriculture, and the energy sector.
