The Kyrgyz Republic is a land-locked, lower-middle-income country with a population of approximately 6.5 million (World Food Program, 2020). Bishkek (the capital) and Osh are the major cities of the country. According to the National Statistics Committee, nearly 66% of the country’s population lives in rural areas and almost 1/4 of the population live below the poverty line. In 2019, worker remittances contributed to 28% of the country’s GDP and the single gold mine of Kumtor accounted for 8% of it. A widespread of small-scale family-based farms coupled with land degradation makes the agricultural sector rather inefficient (International Trade Administration, 2020). As a result, the country faces moderate to severe food insecurity touching nearly 24% of the total population and a high dependence on imports of basic food items (World Food Program, 2020).
Nearly 94% of the country is located at over 1,000 meters above the sea level and 40% of it is above 3,000 meters. The Kyrgyz Republic is highly susceptible to natural hazards such as mudslides, landslides, avalanches and earthquakes. Damages and losses from climate - related natural disasters cost the country nearly USD 6.7 million per year between 2000 and 2011 (UNDP, 2013). The World Bank assessment estimates that natural disasters and climate change stressors will impact environmental, social and economic sectors and cause an annual GDP loss of 0.5% to 1.3% (World Bank, 2019).
