The note further provides a brief overview of Uzbekistan's climate context in terms of observed impacts and historical trends as well as climate projections specific to sectors that are considered to be essential to the country's economic development. Finally, the note assesses national policy and institutional context related to climate change as well as suggests potential ways forward that could help Uzbekistan mainstream climate considerations into development activities and planning and create public demand for climate actions.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABSORPTIONADEQUATE WATERAGINGAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAIRAIR CONDITIONINGAIR QUALITYAIR TEMPERATURESALLOCATIONARID CLIMATEASSESSMENT OF CLIMATE CHANGEASSESSMENT OF CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTSCARBON DIOXIDECHILD HEALTH SERVICESCHLORINECLEAN TECHNOLOGIESCLIMATECLIMATE ACTIONCLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CHANGE ACTIVITIESCLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATIONCLIMATE CHANGE FUNDCLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTSCLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATIONCLIMATE CHANGE POLICIESCLIMATE CHANGE POLICYCLIMATE CHANGE RISKCLIMATE HAZARDSCLIMATE PROJECTIONSCLIMATE RESEARCHCLIMATE RESILIENCECLIMATE RISKCLIMATE RISK ASSESSMENTSCLIMATE RISK MANAGEMENTCLIMATE SENSITIVECLIMATE TRENDSCLIMATE-SENSITIVE DISEASESCLIMATE-SENSITIVE SECTORSCOCO2COALCOMMUNICABLE DISEASESCOMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMPSCOMPETITION OVER WATERCONTINENTAL CLIMATEDESERTIFICATIONDESERTSDISASTERSDROUGHTDUSTECONOMIC ANALYSISECONOMIC COSTSECONOMIC IMPACTSECOSYSTEMELECTRIC POWERELECTRICITYELECTRICITY SUPPLYEMISSIONEMISSION FACTOREMISSIONSEMISSIONS FROM FUELEMISSIONS FROM FUEL COMBUSTIONEMISSIONS REDUCTIONENERGY CONSUMPTIONENERGY DEMANDENERGY EFFICIENCYENERGY EFFICIENCY MEASURESENERGY INFRASTRUCTUREENERGY SECURITYENERGY USEENVIRONMENTAL HEALTHENVIRONMENTAL POLICIESENVIRONMENTAL POLICYENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONEVAPORATIONEXTREME EVENTSEXTREME WEATHEREXTREME WEATHER EVENTSFLOODSFORESTFOREST PRODUCTIVITYFOREST PRODUCTSFOREST RESEARCHFOREST STANDSFORESTRYFORESTRY SECTORFORESTSFRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGEFUEL OILGAS PRODUCTIONGENERAL PRACTICEGHGGLACIER MELTINGGLACIERSGLOBAL ENVIRONMENT FACILITYGLOBAL WARMINGHEALTH CAREHEALTH SERVICESHEAT PRODUCTIONHIGH TEMPERATURESHOSPITALSHYDROMETEOROLOGYIMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEIMPLEMENTATION OF ACTION PLANSINDICATORS OF CLIMATE CHANGEINFECTIOUS DISEASESINTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONSIRRIGATION SYSTEMSLABOR PRODUCTIVITYLAWSLIVING CONDITIONSLOW-CARBONMEDICINESNATIONAL CLIMATENATIONAL CLIMATE CHANGENATIONAL EMISSIONNATURAL GASNEGATIVE IMPACTNEGATIVE IMPACTSNEGATIVE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEPOLICY DOCUMENTPOLLUTIONPORTFOLIOPOWER GENERATIONPOWER SECTORPRECIPITATIONPRIMARY HEALTH CAREPUBLIC HEALTHQUALITY OF LIFERAINRAINFALLREGULATORY FRAMEWORKRENEWABLE ENERGYRISK MANAGEMENTRIVER BASINRURAL WATERRURAL WATER SUPPLYSANITATION SECTORSCENARIOSSCREENINGSEASONSECTORAL MINISTRIESSOLAR RADIATIONSTORMSSURFACE WATERTEMPERATURETEMPERATURE CHANGESTEMPERATURE INCREASETEMPERATURE INCREASESTRANSPORT SECTORVULNERABILITY TO CLIMATE CHANGEWASTEWASTE RECYCLINGWATER AVAILABILITYWATER CONSERVATIONWATER CONSUMPTIONWATER DEMANDWATER MANAGEMENTWATER QUALITYWATER RESOURCEWATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENTWATER RESOURCESWATER SCARCITYWATER SECTORWATER SUPPLYWATER USEWATER UTILITIES10.1596/17550
