This document analyzes the interaction between climate change and land degradation in Central Asia and the role of sustainable land management (SLM) practices. It finds that climate change may exacerbate land degradation, negatively impacting agriculture. However, adopting SLM technologies can help address land degradation, enable adaptation to climate change, and increase rural incomes. Key drivers for SLM adoption include market access, crop diversification, and secure land tenure. The document calls for continued government efforts to promote wider SLM adoption through training, market access, credit access, and land tenure security.
