Abstract

Uzbekistan, one of the most climate-vulnerable regions in the world, is facing some challenges in achieving Sustainable Development Goals as a result of increasing climate risks and underdeveloped water infrastructure that is causing unequal distribution of water resources between rural and urban areas. These problems block further development of several SDGs including good health and well-being, clear water and sanitation Industry, innovation and infrastructure, and climate action. This thesis examines challenges mentioned above and proposes possible solutions: managed aquifer recharge, efficient urban infrastructure.
