  12. List of research institutes and organizations in assessing climate change in Kazakhstan • State Republican Enterprise “The Kazakh State Climate • and Ecology Research Institute” (KazNIIEK) • State Republican Enterprise “Kazhydromet” • Non-governmental organization “Coordination Centre on • Climate Change” • Kazakh National University named after al-Farabi • Institute of Geography of the Ministry of Education and • Science • Public Association “Karaganda oblast Ecological Museum” • (Ecomuzei) • Institute of Botany and Phytointroduction of the Ministry of • Education and Science • The Kazakh Forest Management Enterprise • International projects

  13. The linear coefficient of temperature trend of the surface air in Kazakhstan Between 1936 and 2005, based on observation data from over 90 meteorological stations in Kazakhstan, the calculated linear trends in the mean air temperature time series and the sum atmospheric precipitation show that the climate of Kazakhstan in the period became significantly warmer. The average annual temperature increased: - by 0,31°C/10 years - by 0,50°C/10 years – in winter - by 0,21°C/10 years – in summer Sourse: State Republican Enterprise “The Kazakh State Climate and Ecology Research Institute” (KazNIIEK)

  15. Climate change status:main conclusions • Ubiquitous increase of seasonal and annual temperature • Increase of climate aridity in deserts and semi-deserts areas of Kazakhstan, as well as adjacent areas • Increase of total rainfall in the western and northern parts of Kazakhstan and central zone. The same trend was seen in the mountainous parts of the South and South-East of the country. However this had less impact on raising air temperatures. • Degradation of glaciers has been recorded by 0,8% in South-East mountains and 1% in glacier storage.

  16. Changes in average annual surface air temperature and annual total precipitation according to “hard”, “medium” and “soft” scenarios of GHG concentrations in Kazakhstan Scenario Climate characteristics 2030 2050 2085 Medium Change in average annual air 1.4°C 2.7°C 4.6°C temperature Change in total annual +2% +4% +5% precipitation Extremely Change in average annual 1.2–1.9°C(1.3°C) 2.5–4.0°C (3.0°C) 5.7–8.0°C (6.2°C) high (hard) air temperature Change in total annual 2– +8% (2.2%) -4– +15% (3.7%) 8–28% (6.5%) precipitation Extremely Change in average annual 1.5–2.2°C (1.7°C) 1.6–2.6°C (2.0°C) 3.1–3.4°C (3.3°C) low (soft) air temperature Change in total annual 0-8% (3.0%) -3– +9% (1.7%) -2– +13% (4.1%) precipitation Sourse: State Republican Enterprise “The Kazakh State Climate and Ecology Research Institute” (KazNIIEK)

  17. Expected climate change: main conclusions • Increase of seasonal and annual temperatures • Increase of precipitation in the winter period • Increase of the annual amount of precipitations • Decrease of rainfalls in the summer period since 2050 • On the major territory of Kazakhstan increase of precipitation does not compensate increase of air temperature • All scenarios of GHG concentration change tend to increase of aridity Sourse: State Republican Enterprise “The Kazakh State Climate and Ecology Research Institute” (KazNIIEK)

  18. The potential impact of the climate change on water resources • will increase on the average from 1-4 % to 14-22% in mountain areas • will decrease by 7-10% in the plain areas • decrease total rivers flow from 100 cu. km to 75 cu. km per year The degradation of the mountains glaciations and its impact on the resources of the river flow primarilyin the basin Balkhash-Alakol.

  22. Climate change adaptation and mitigation policies in Kazakhstan Kazakhstan ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Kyoto Protocol to the Framework Convention (Kyoto Protocol or KP) in May 1995 and April 2009 respectively. On September 17, 2009, Kazakhstan became an official Party to the KP. March 2011, in Astana was presented new joint project of the Ministry of Environmental Protection of the RK, UNDP Kazakhstan and Global Environmental Fund "Assistance to the Republic of Kazakhstan in preparation of the Third National Communication in accordance with the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UN FCCC)“. Kazakhstan has developed aNational Programme for Adaptation to Climate Change.

  23. Activities on adaptation to climate change in the water sector of the Republic of Kazakhstan In the National Communication (INC Kazakhstan, 2008) proposed 3 types of measures: 1) economic development with a focus on waterless and low-water technology;2) increasing the share of groundwater use;3) diversion of river flow within regions and beyond their borders.

  24. To reduce the negative effects influence the vulnerability of water resources in the sector requires: • reconstruction of irrigation systems and water systems to minimize water loss; • replacement of moisture-loving crops on irrigated lands less moisture-loving crops; • introduction of advanced technologies in irrigated agriculture; • introduction of low-water technology and water recycling systems in existing industrial enterprises and utilities; • the use of wastewater; • review modes hydropower; • dredging, the reconstruction of docks and piers on navigable rivers: • replacement of the existing ship types of river transport and fishing fleet on the court with less rainfall.

  25. Activities to optimize the health of aquatic ecosystems and the environment: • strict limitation of economic activity in most shallow areas and transfer it to other areas; • strict measures to establish a sanitary protection zones near surface water sources and places groundwater • mandatory environmental impact assessment of new projects on the use of water resources; • widespread use of chemical and biological wastewater treatment; • development and implementation of additional reclamation, agroforestry and agro-technical measures to ensure environmental safety of water resources; • create a favorable water heat regime for habitat and reproduction of fish and other living organisms, regulating their numbers.
