Tajikistan continues to be highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, with a World Bank publication - Adapting to Climate Change in Europe and Central Asia - indicating that Tajikistan is the most vulnerable country in Central Asia. In collaboration with government institutions and with the financial support of various donors, the Aga Khan Agency for Habitat (AKAH) implements community-based disaster risk management activities in Tajikistan to help prepare communities residing in high risk zones to be aware of and be able to respond to natural hazards effectively. AKAH also supports them in finding ways for their "habitat" to enhance their health, education and economic development.
