Central Asia is particularly vulnerable due to severe water scarcity and its global implications.

The region’s vital water resources such as the Caspian Sea , Aral Sea, and the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers are rapidly depleting.

Outdated Soviet-era water infrastructure worsens the crisis, causing significant losses in irrigation and drinking water supply.

Agriculture, using 8090% of the region’s water, must adopt sustainable practices.

Transboundary cooperation under frameworks such as the Water Convention is crucial for equitable water sharing as climate impacts intensify.

Water scarcity is a shared challenge, and its solutions must be equally shared.
