An important factor when looking at the region in terms of environment and security is the impact of climate change in Central Asia in general, and Ferghana Valley in particular. By modifying people’s livelihood, climate change may have an important security dimension in conjunction with other aggravating factors.

Central Asia is likely to have a shortage of water associated with a significant increase in air surface temperatures.
