Enhancing Multi-Hazard Early Warning System to increase resilience of Uzbekistan communities to climate change induced hazards

About this project

48.) 1. The project objective is to enhance the efficiency and coverage of multi-hazard early warning system for climate change induced hazards in Uzbekistan in view of the projected climate change impacts. The approach combines principles articulated in the Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS) with a ‘value-chain’ approach to target specific weaknesses in the delivery of early warning services, given the specific modes of operation, current infrastructure, technical capacities and institutional arrangements in Uzbekistan. The project will introduce the impact-based MHEWS based on the socio-economic risk modelling and will explore and facilitate elements of forecast-based financing as an innovative paradigm-shifting approach to the use of climate data in decision-making. In particular, the project will: a. Improve methods and data/models used to monitor and forecast variables needed to derive climate characteristics; b. Develop the capacity of national agencies to model climate-related hazards (hydrological drought, landslides, mudflows and avalanches) and to utilize modern weather and seasonal forecasting techniques; c. Expand areas and geophysical/biophysical observations using satellite-based remote sensing (including the monitoring of precipitation, vegetation, snow cover and landslip/slides) to monitor and assess hazard risks over extensive regions of Uzbekistan, especially those regions where it is impractical to place observational equipment; d. Introduce a so…
