In the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan, rising temperatures, glacier retreat, and more frequent droughts, floods, and landslides are putting greater strain on water infrastructure and the reliable delivery of water services. Water utilities face operational and financial pressures while lacking the institutional capacity to plan and invest in a changing climate. Existing approaches are often reactive and are not designed to address the growing climate risks.RWS4All will introduce a structured, climate-informed "deep adaptation pathways" approach organised around three lines of work: strengthen policy, regulatory, and institutional frameworks to integrate climate risk into water sector planning and governance; support water utilities to assess climate risks, identify vulnerabilities, and develop adaptation pathways to guide investment decision-making; and finance priority climate-resilient water infrastructure investments identified through those adaptation pathways.It is expected to benefit around 621,100 people directly and 1.2 million indirectly. By integrating climate risk into sector decision-making it supports a shift from reactive rehabilitation to anticipatory, system-level adaptation in how water services are planned, financed, and managed.Implemented by EBRD, the project contributes to GCF's strategic priorities by advancing the implementation of national climate plans, strengthening climate-resilient infrastructure, and supporting adaptation.

Kyrgyz Republic Climate Resilience Financing Facility implemented by Asian Development Bank (ADB)

To support twenty-five (25) developing countries in the preparation and submission of BTRs and combined BTR/National Communications (BTR/NCs) in a gender-responsive manner that aligns with the reporting requirements of the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement (PA), while also addressing each country's unique national development priorities.

Central and West Asia are among the fastest-warming regions, with temperatures rising by 0.2–0.4°C per decade. Glacier systems in the Pamir and Tien Shan ranges are retreating rapidly; projections indicate over 50 per cent of glacier volume could be lost by 2100. This cryosphere meltdown is disrupting water cycles, threatening the livelihoods and food security of over 340 million people across nine countries. The most vulnerable are women, smallholder farmers, and micro-entrepreneurs who depend on glacier-fed rivers for crops and hydropower. Without urgent intervention, communities risk worsening poverty, displacement, and instability.The Glaciers to Farms (G2F) Programme responds to this crisis by integrating climate science into development planning and deploying concrete adaptation measures in glacier-dependent river basins. The programme focuses 100 per cent on adaptation and aligns with national priorities, including National Adaptation Plans (NAP), Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).This project includes several components, including climate-informed planning tools, the development of bankable adaptation projects and new financing approaches such as outcome-based resilience bonds. It aims to expand capacity within Ministries of Finance, Planning and Environment to apply climate budgeting and screening tools. G2F will support the creation of infrastructure for climate finance, mentoring for agriculture enterprises, and design of cross-border pilot projects.G2F will deliver substantial, measurable improvements in climate resilience for communities and ecosystems. The programme aims to reduce the vulnerability of approximately 45 million people across nine countries by providing more stable water and food supplies, infrastructure that can withstand shocks, stronger social safety nets, and healthier ecosystems.GCF Project Preparation Facility (PPF) support was provided to conduct feasibility studies and stakeholder consultations across all nine countries, which was instrumental in refining the programme’s design.
