Abstract
"The people of Tajikistan, many already feeling the strains of climate change, will be increasingly afflicted over the next 40 years unless immediate action is taken to mitigate the effects. Tajikistan‘s glaciers – mainly found in the Pamir Mountains that make up part of the Trans-Himalayan range – are retreating and could lead to greater water shortages and disputes in the wider region in the future." (p.2) "Climate change is an international injustice. Poor countries such as Tajikistan that have done the least to cause current global warming and consequent climate change are the first to begin to suffer the impacts." (p.21)
