Data for Action: Enabling Weather, Water and Climate Services for Disaster Risk Reduction in Tajikistan

The soil in Tajikistan is exhausted - a consequence of deforestation, overgrazing and climate change. That is why the harvests of the farming families are getting ever smaller, natural disasters are more frequent and more intense. Caritas provides the farmers with early warning systems and agricultural decision-making tools that are based on new data on the weather, water and climate. This enables the farming families to increase their yield and adapt to climate change. SLF is supporting CARITAS in its mission to develop low-cost meteo-stations and develop climate services based on these data for natural hazard early warning.
