- An increase in the average annual temperature by 1.12o? (0.28o? per decade) has been recorded in Kyrgyzstan in the past 40 years.
The increase was from 0.25 to 0.32o? per decade in some regions.
Such data are provided by the Ministry of Health's draft resolution. Data for the period from 1980 to 2020 is reviewed. It is predicted that the temperature will increase by the end of the 21st century (2100), the resolution notes.
According to the "hard" scenario SSP5-8.5, the temperature will increase by almost 7o?, according to the "moderate" scenario SSP2-4.5 - by about 3.
5o?. Such climate changes cause risks associated with heat waves, changes in atmospheric pressure, which negatively affects the health of the population. A direct relationship has been established between changes in atmospheric pressure and mortality from respiratory diseases.
There has also been an increase in infectious diseases, particularly gastrointestinal infections such as salmonellosis, which is associated with rising temperatures and water pollution from floods, the document says..
