(CS-FOR) in Kyrgyzstan project supports the Government of Kyrgyzstan by contributing to the development of a low carbon emission and climate-resilient economy. The project objective is to intervene in key hot spots of target areas with adapted forest and pasture investments and to clearly transform management of pasture and forest resources at the national and local levels to ecosystem-based sustainable natural resource management (NRM) by enhancing an integrated and participatory approach, which is adaptive to climate change and responsive to needs of local communities. CS-FOR is in line with the Government’s key developmental goals and climate change plans and is anchored in its Intended Nationally Determined Contribution. The project was designed through extensive stakeholder consultation including with government, research institutions, donors working the area of climate change mitigation and adaptation, NGOs, CSOs, local government, Pasture User Unions and State Forest Fund agencies (leskhozes), among others. The NDA has issued a no- objection letter. The Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) is the tool to guide the identification and management of potential negative environmental and social impacts of proposed projects and serves as a platform for consultations with stakeholders and project beneficiaries. The ESMF is prepared in compliance with FAO Environmental and Social Management Guidelines and considering the GCF’s Environmental and Social Safeguards. Section II describes the project components and target areas. To provide context, Section III gives an overview of environmental, climate and social considerations in the country and, as available, in the target areas. The legal and institutional framework is presented in Section IV. Section V addresses the risk classification of the project including FAO and GCF Safeguards. Section VI is about stakeholder engagement, including stakeholder identification, stakeholder engagement during both project formulation and implementation, gender, disclosure and grievance redress. Sub-projects are addressed in Section VII (preparation, approval and execution; potential impacts and mitigation measures) and Section VIII (environmental and social screening and risk assessment). 6 I. INTRODUCTION In the second half of 2017, upon agreement of the Government of Kyrgyzstan, FAO began the process of developing a proposal for the project “Carbon Sequestration Through Climate Investment in Forests and Rangelands in the Kyrgyz Republic (CS-FOR)”. The goal of the project is to contribute to the development of a low carbon emission and climate-resilient economy. The project objective is to intervene in key hot spots of target areas with adapted forest and pasture investments and to clearly transform management of pasture and forest resources at the national and local levels to ecosystem- based sustainable natural resource management (NRM) by enhancing an integrated and participatory approach, which is adaptive to climate change and responsive to needs of local communities. As co- benefit, increasing significantly forest coverage - in hotspots with high risks of hazards such as landslides, mudslides and floods – the project will also reduce the exposure

  • (DREF) Kyrgyzstan: Floods and Mudflows
    Disaster relief emergency fund (DREF) Kyrgyzstan: Floods and mudflows DREF operation n° MDRKG008 GLIDE n° FL-2012-000043-KGZ 4th May 2012 The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent (IFRC) Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) is a source of un-earmarked money created by the Federation in 1985 to ensure that immediate financial support is available for Red Cross and Red Crescent emergency response. The DREF is a vital part of the International Federation’s disaster response system and increases the ability of National Societies to respond to disasters. CHF 110,430 has been allocated from the IFRC’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to support the National Society in delivering immediate assistance to some 1,001 families (approximately 5,005 beneficiaries). Unearmarked funds to repay DREF are encouraged. Summary: Kyrgyzstan experienced the harshest winter with unusually low temperatures, heavy snowfalls throughout 2011 and 2012 and high precipitation, which exceeded the annual average by 2 – 2,5 times according to the Hydro Meteo Service of Kyrgyzstan. Snow melting and heavy rains caused mudflows and flash floods across Kyrgyzstan. Food stocks, home properties, livelihoods and Kulundu village of Leilek district, Batken oblast. Photo made by RCSK infrastructure have been heavily damaged. Series of mudflows occurred on the territory of Naryn, Osh, Jalalabad and Batken regions including remote districts throughout April. The most destructive flash floods were in Osh, Batken and Jalalbad during the period of April 23 to April 29, 2012. According to the Ministry of Emergency Situations a total of more than 2,300 households were affected in Osh, Batken, Jalalabad and Naryn1.
