Key Vulnerabilities 
According to the World Bank Climate Change Knowledge Portal (2021), Uzbekistan will be 
subject to the following vulnerabilities due to impacts of climate change: 
 
Summer months are expected to have high temperatures, prolonged heat waves, 
and expanded summer season. Heat waves, and increased frequency of the 
consecutive number of days above 39
C are expected to occur throughout the 
country. Climate warming is also expected to shift boundaries of spring frosts with 
potential for adverse impacts on the agricultural sector.

 
Climate change, specifically changes in precipitation patterns are likely to alter 
slope and bedrock stability, resulting in localized landslides. This is expected to be 
a high-degree hazard for southern and eastern parts of the country. 
 
Precipitation patterns and increased variability, land use, wind, glacial and snow 
melt, and other climatic conditions will affect the river systems. Changed 
precipitation patterns and river flows have led to riverine flooding and are also 
associated with heavy rainstorms, mudslides and landslides.

This part of the report assesses the wind farm element of the Project only. It outlines site 
specific baseline conditions for the Wind Farm area, identifies receptors within the identified 
Area of Influence (AoI) and provides an assessment of the potential environmental and 
social impacts for Project construction and operations. Further, it proposes mitigation & 
management measures to prevent or minimize negative impacts and ameliorate positive 
impacts where possible and outlines monitoring requirements to ensure continuous 
monitoring of the environment.
