• Tajikistan ratified the Kiot Report in 2008

• In Tajikistan the legislative and institutional basis for the actions directed on the decision of problems, connected with climate change is created.

• The official body on hydrometeorology of Committee of preservation of the environment at Government republic Tajikistan co-ordinates actions for climate change in Tajikistan.

Recommendations and decision waysRecommendations and decision ways

• To give more scientific and state blow attention to monitoring of indicators of climate change

• To take and expand a network of especially-protected natural territories to develop transboundary ecological corridors and cooperation with neighbouring countries and other states

• Increase of fire-prevention protection of woods and their protection against wreckers and the illnesses, added with increase in volume of restoration of woods and strengthening of a network protected

• Regulation of water-physical properties for reduction of a soil drought in the conditions of climate change of soils

• Optimisation of irrigation norms of agricultural crops in a combination to application of methods of overhead irrigation and a drop irrigation in the conditions of a drought and deficiency of water resources

• Creation of information system on desertification problems

• The organisation of monitoring of process of global warming and desertification

• Improvement of methods of struggle against degradation of soils

• Raising of a role of the international cooperation in struggle against global warming and desertification

• Raising of a role of local population, non-governmental the organisations on struggle against desertification
