The water situation in Central Asia is difficult in particular after the cold winter in 2007/2008. UNECE work on water in Central Asia builds on: the United Nations Special Programme for the Economies of Central Asia (SPECA) and the application of the UNECE regional environmental conventions. The UNECE promotes the existing international legal framework and develops capacity for its application in the region. Its activities include support to the Chu-Talas Commission, the development of the Central Asian Regional Water Information Base, the effective implementation of the EIA Convention, work on dam safety, regional cooperation on water quality and integrated water resources management.
