Project summary: The project aims to develop a module on European Climate Politics at the OSCE Academy in Bishkek. It brings advanced European expertise to Central Asia, where the impact of climate change is significant and where national governments have initiated joint regional action to address it. The aim of the newly developed module is to advance European regional climate policy expertise to inform local stakeholders and policy-making. It will do this through the core course, divided into two parts, and with a series of activities aimed at the wider policy community. The project will foster dialogue between different stakeholders through workshops, including policymakers, NGOs, and academia. This knowledge-sharing will support the improvement of regional climate policies, the development of new educational programs, research initiatives and the raising of public awareness. The project will use the long-standing network of the OSCE Academy within Central Asia and beyond.
