Adaptation to Climate Change in the Kura-Aras River Basin
The Kura-Aras River Basin Snapshot: assessing the needs for adaptation to climate
change in the South Caucasus. This basin snapshot aims at assessing historical trends
and future projections in the context of climate change compared to other impacts on the
water balance in the basin. It also evaluates strategies by national governments and donors
for climate change adaptation and identifies critical obstacles to these strategies. Finally, it
assesses the scope for no regret measures and possible new measures for climate change
adaptation. Although the river basin is shared by five countries, the snapshot concentrates
on the South Caucasus states Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, which largely depend on
water from the basin. This snapshot is part of a series of basin snapshots in developing
countries edited by KfW on behalf of the German Ministry of Economic Cooperation and
Development (BMZ).
