Unsustainable patterns of consumption and production are key drivers of the triple planetary crises, climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. The Central Asian region, with its abundant natural resources and rapid economic transformation, faces mounting sustainability challenges. The region’s high dependence on resource extraction industries, combined with increasing climate vulnerabilities such as water scarcity, desertification, and extreme weather events, underscores the urgency of integrating sustainability principles into economic and climate policies. This Technical Advisory (TA) project aims to identify opportunities to align SCP and Circular Economy principles with the climate ambitions of Central Asian countries, particularly in the context of NDC 3.0 and LT-LEDS. The project will enhance synergies among policies on climate action, material resource efficiency, and sustainable development by engaging key national and regional stakeholders in knowledge exchange and policy co-creation.
