Potential Adaptation Measures

Agriculture and Food Security

• Specific measures in grain production and sheep breeding
• Adaptation and use of agricultural biodiversity,
• Diversification of crop production, including high yielding,
• Advanced land tenure in preventing soil degradation, agricultural landscapes with the good moisture and fertility soils,
• Analysis and assessment of the effectiveness of new scientific achievements,
• Renewable sources of energy including bio-energy. For stable growth and adaptation to possible climate changes, it is necessary to:
• Moisture conservation culture technologies by modeling the change (shift) of atmospheric fall distribution,
• Change the tillage use structure including the cultures capable of actively absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere,
• Integrate management of genetic resources: conservation, improvement and rational use of the agro–biodiversity in climate change conditions.

Water Resources

• develop towards arid and mini-water technologies;
• increase of the proportion of ground-water usage;
• transfer some part of the river flow inside and outside the regions.

Mudflow Activity

• making projections and modernizing dams to catch overflows in the high mountain zone of the Malaya Almatynka and Kumbel’ basins;
• carrying out construction work in the city of Almaty and the sports complex hosting the 2011 Winter Asiatic Olympic Games, considering the high vulnerability of its sill dam and providing strong safe structures.
• undertaking organizational measures on introducing the super short– term forecasts of mudflows from rainfalls.

Forestry

• consider the climate change impact to the forestry sector in the national strategyand programs;
• select species and types of wood due to the climate change impact and to assess capacity for providing raw wood to the population needs;
• take into account climate change impact when developing effective planting technologies;
• amend the normative legal base and reference literature;
• elaborate the concrete steps for this sector adaptation depending on the localconditions and requirements of the landscape planning;
• justify budget financing for securing the forestry function in present and future climate conditions;
• advance and update education and training courses

Public Health

Future directions should include:

• an improved legislation base;
• sustainable building solutions in response to changing climate conditions; and
• measures to control infectious and non-infectious population diseases.

Les options d’adaptation à d’éventuels changements climatiques envisagées pour les secteurs de l’agriculture et des ressources en eau se sont basées essentiellement sur les jugements d’expert.

Options d’adaptation
Les méthodologies éprouvées (Carter et al., 1995; Benioff et al., 1996; UNEP/IES, 1998) recommandent que les mesures d’adaptation proposées soient évaluées avec les mêmes modèles utilisés pour estimer les impacts du

El escenario bioclimático de la línea base fue construido a partir de la zona de vida elaboradas por De la Cruz; entre el escenario base y las zonas de vida se presentan diferencias en el tipo y cobertura vegetal. El escenario de la línea base es una aproximación conceptual donde se presentan zonas bioclimáticas identificadas y definidas a partir de datos del clima proporcionados por los escenarios climáticos.
