Kazakhstan is increasingly vulnerable to water-related climate hazards due to water scarcity, dependency on transboundary water sources, and an increasing risk of flooding driven by extreme rainfall in mountainous regions and melting of glaciers.
This report identifies the three most important hazards: droughts, floods, and heatwaves. It presents the probability of occurrence and severity of these hazards under different climate change (SSP) scenarios until 2100 as well as potential adaptation measures.
To assist the replication of the analysis by practitioners, it describes the methodology of identifying these hazards, collecting data, and simulating their future probability of occurrence.
A short summary of this report is also available here.
