POLICY ADVICE
Все наши усилия, пилотные проекты и реализованные меры преобразованы в рекомендации по выработке политик для наших политических партнеров в Узбекистане и Казахстане.
Например, в секторе лесного хозяйства наш проект разработал серию карт (почвы, растительности, гидрогеологии и климата) казахстанской части осушенного дна Аральского моря. На основе этих карт мы разработали рекомендации по возможностям проведения мероприятий по облесению. Лица, принимающие решения, могут использовать карты и рекомендации для стратегического планирования облесения и других мер (например, маршрутов экотуризма, восстановления пастбищ), что, в свою очередь, может помочь в борьбе с опустыниванием, деградацией земель, сохранении биоразнообразия и улучшении условий жизни людей, живущих в этих районах.
Наш проект также поддержал визит делегации Комитета лесного хозяйства Республики Узбекистан на казахстанскую часть осушенного Аральского дна. Мы организовали двустороннюю встречу для обмена опытом и определения направлений дальнейшего сотрудничества и взаимодействия между двумя странами. В ходе визита между Государственным комитетом Республики Узбекистан по лесному хозяйству и Министерством экологии и природных ресурсов Республики Казахстан была подписана межправительственная Дорожная карта «Совместные мероприятия по сотрудничеству в области лесного хозяйства: 2021-2022».
Вместе с двумя другими проектами GIZ «Интегрированное землепользование с учетом изменения климата в Центральной Азии» и «Зеленая Центральная Азия», наш проект обеспечивает обмен визитами и политические диалоги между сотрудниками охраняемых территорий из Узбекистана, Казахстана и Туркменистана. Все три страны имеют общие охраняемые территории на своих границах. Обмен и диалог укрепляют трансграничное сотрудничество по защите дикой природы и биоразнообразия.
