Climate change: water shortage, land use and communities challenges

Every year in Kazakhstan, talks about the consequences of climate change, including water shortages in the near future, are getting louder. Due to the uneven distribution of water resources on the territory of Kazakhstan and water dependence on neighboring countries, the situation is sensitive. All this is superimposed by the lack of a clearly directed water policy, since water shortage will affect all sectors of the economy and the population. Kazakhstan is already suffering from salinization, desertification, and recurrent spring floods. And Integrated Water Resources Management and Sustainable Land Management, which are the main tools for sustainable development, can mitigate these consequences.
