PPT-Central Asia is considered a global hotspot with respect to impacts of climate change

The three components of the cryosphere glaciers snow and permafrost are all affected by climate change Glaciers of Central Asia are essentially natural reservoirs that accumulate and store water from winter and spring precipitation and release it in summer when rainfall is low and water demand is high In the face of ongoing climate change the challenges related to water management and disaster risk reduction may recur and persist . According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change rising global temperatures will very likely increase the frequency and intensity of heat waves droughts and heavy rainfall events adversely affecting agriculture forests water resources indu Osmanova.
