Bishkek – Kyrgyzstan – On November 5, 2025, the Institute of Water Problems and Hydropower of the National Academy of Sciences of the Kyrgyz Republic is holding an International Scientific Conference on Water and Energy Resources and Climate Risks in Central Asia as a Basis for Achieving Sustainable Landscapes.
The event is organized with the support of the KG RESILAND project, which is part of the World Bank’s regional RESILAND CA+ program aimed at restoring landscapes and reducing the vulnerability of ecosystems and communities to climate change in Central Asia.
The focus of the RESILAND project in Kyrgyzstan is to protect communities from natural disasters, particularly from mudflows and floods. It includes practical activities to restore degraded landscapes, improve the living conditions of rural communities, and enhance climate resilience in targeted regions of the Kyrgyz Republic. As part of the regional initiative in Central Asia, RESILAND CA+ in Kyrgyzstan also supports regional events that promote dialogue among representatives of all countries in the region and the international community.
As noted by the Director of the Institute of Water Problems and Hydropower of the National Academy of Sciences of the Kyrgyz Republic, Rysbek Satylkanov:
“The well-being of people and ecosystems directly depends on our ability to forecast and prevent threats and to reduce their negative impacts. This conference contributes to the exchange of scientific experience among countries of Central Asia and the international community on key issues of water and energy security, hydropower development, and climate resilience.”
During the conference, leading scientists and researchers from Central Asia will present their findings on the assessment of the water and energy resources of the Kyrgyz Republic, climate modeling of mountain river runoff formation, and modern methods for glacier monitoring using remote sensing technologies.
Research will also be presented on groundwater resources in the Chui Valley, the hydrological conditions of river basins in the region, and the application of innovative methods and tools for assessing climate-related geo-risks.
The event will take place in the National History Museum of the Kyrgyz Republic. Participants can also join online here.
