ClimateCrowd: Kyrgyzstan Summary Report – English
Climate Crowd is a bottom-up, community-driven initiative that helps people adapt to climate change in harmony with nature. WWF works with communities and local organizations to collect data on how climate change is impacting lives and livelihoods, presents synthesized data back to the communities, and works with them to develop, fund and implement on- the-ground solutions that meet their expressed adaptation needs while reducing pressure on nature and natural resources. This report summarizes what was learned from 96 interviews with key informants (17 female, 79 male) in 11 low-elevation, lake-adjacent communities (74 interviews) and 1 high-elevation, mountainous community (22 interviews) in Kyrgyzstan. Interviews were conducted by the Ilbirs Foundation and the CAMP Alatoo Public Foundation staff in 2022 and 2023.
