CACIP Report of joint event: CACIP Regional Consultation, and Cost of Environmental Degradation (CoED) Inception workshop

Abstract

This workshop report is covering a joint event organized by two projects: Central Asia Regional Climate Information Platform (CACIP) and Assessment of the Costs of Environmental Degradation (CoED) in Tajikistan. The main objective of CACIP is to help stakeholders for one-stop access, analyse, and visualize public-domain data to support improved awareness, assessment, and decision support. This is expected to make available comprehensive and up-to-date relevant data and information, linking with high-quality datasets from global, regional, and local sources, provide analytical tools and interfaces for the visualization and interpretation of data, maps and information (e.g. mapping tools to layer data, map hotspots and areas at risk, screening tools, etc.). The main goal of the CoED analysis is to provide macro-oriented assessment of the total cost of environmental degradation to the economy of Tajikistan. This is expected to enhance the understanding of the economic costs of environmental degradation for improved management and planning at national and subnational levels in Tajikistan.
