AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoWater Stress: Central Asia faces falling river flows and continued glacier loss, with recent water inflows to reservoirs in Tajikistan and neighboring countries well below normal. Tajikistan has lost more than 10% of its glacier cover, and its glaciated area has shrunk by about a third; glaciers feed much of the Amu Darya. Wildlife: More than half of the 62 wild tulip species assessed globally are threatened. Most grow in Central Asia’s Tien Shan and Pamir-Alay mountains, where overgrazing and a warmer, drier climate put them at risk. Rogun Dam: Tajikistan’s parliament has ratified a $300 million World Bank grant for continued construction, equipment and environmental safeguards, including support for communities affected by resettlement. Environmental Oversight: President Emomali Rahmon opened a new Environmental Protection Department building in Kulob, equipped with a laboratory and a regional digitalization center, and called for stronger oversight and implementation of the national greening program.
