This report reflects the finding of the first cooperative study on the impacts of climate change and adaptation which involves all three South Caucasus countries - Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia. The study considers four areas for investigation:

• Recent historical and projected climate change,
• impacts of climate change on trans-boundary river basins, 
• impacts of climate change on crop water and irrigation requirements in critical agricultural areas, 
• the effect of climate change on urban heat stress in selected cities.
