Last update: an hour agoRegional Climate Push: At the October 8 summit in Awaza, Tajik President Emomali Rahmon urged Central Asian states and Azerbaijan to work together on climate change, melting glaciers, desertification and biodiversity, including through national parks. Water Cooperation: Central Asian states agreed on water allocations and reservoir operations for the 2026–27 non-growing season, while officials outlined a shared approach to managing the Amu Darya and Syr Darya amid climate pressures. Glacier Risks: River flows and reservoir inflows are declining across the region as glaciers lose mass. Tajikistan has lost more than 10% of its glacier cover, a growing concern for water supplies fed by mountain runoff. Wildlife: More than half of the 62 assessed wild tulip species are threatened with extinction; experts cite overgrazing and a warming, drying climate as major risks in Central Asia’s mountains.
