Production of statistical data on climate change in the Kyrgyz Republic

Statistical data produced by NSC in the area of environment & natural resources

• • • • Atmospheric air condition (1 form) Conditions & use of water resources ( 1 form) Conditions & use of land resources (3 forms) Wastes from production & consumption including toxic (3 forms) • • • • Exploration works (1 form) Protection of forests, flora & fauna (3 forms) Environmental expenditures (1 form) Environmental control (1 form)

Total: 8 areas & 14 state statistical forms

•

Climate change indicators generated in the Kyrgyz Republic

Air pollution and ozone depletion (3): Emissions of pollutants into the atmospheric air; Air quality in urban areas; Consumption of ozone-depleting substances • • Climate change (3): Air temperature; Atmospheric precipitation; Greenhouse gas emissions

Energy (4):

Final energy consumption; Total energy consumption; Energy intensity; Renewable energy consumption • • Transport (4): Passenger transport demand; Freight transport demand; Composition of road motor vehicle fleet by fuel type; Average age of road motor vehicle fleet Waste (4): Waste generation; Transboundary movements of hazardous wastes; Waste reuse and recycling; Final waste disposal •

Total: 5 areas, 18 indicators

Climate change indicators: Summary

Indicator: 5 areas, 18 indicators

Source (#indicators) : NSC (11), State Agency on Environment (2), KyrgyzHydroMet (3), Ozone Center (1), State Customs Service (2), Ministry of Energy (3), State Registration Service (1) & State Department of Security on Road Traffic of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (2)

Total: 8 agencies develop indicators on climate change

Capacity: Available data – 10, partially available – 7, no data – 1 (greenhouse gas emissions)

Background information

• • •

Methodological :

Guidelines on environmental statistics; Guidelines on environmental expenditure developed in accord to OECD/ EuroStat requirements ; NSC is a member of UNECE Joint Task Force on Environmental Indicators • • • •

Annual statistical publications including environment section:

Kyrgyzstan in figures; Statistical yearbook; Social trends; Standard of life in the KR and etc

Background information

• • • Special publications on environment: Environment in the Kyrgyz Republic (every 4-5 years) Environmental condition in the area of Issyk-Kul lake (annually) Protection & rational use of natural resources (annually) • • Jointly with State agency on environment NSC produces: KR is a party of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change since 2003 and it is already produced First and Second National Communications. Today is preparing for the Third National Communication National Report on Environment, 2011 (in accord to agreed 36 Environmental indicators)

Problems in producing statistical data by the NSC

• • • • • • NO unified national system of monitoring Almost NO necessary monitoring in such areas as: hazardous wastes, heavy metals, morphological registration of wastes NO complex and sectoral electronic database on environment (results of environment monitoring do not used for decision making, development of policy etc.) NO emission survey, cadaster of waste water NO smooth communication between agencies because of imperfection in national laws and required unified methodological approaches under data generation.

NO consistent information databases

Recommendations

• • • Provide regular training for statistical data users; Prepare data in understandable way for users; Enhance environmental statistical forms & indicators in accord to up to date requirements; • To analyze all administrative (ministerial) reports submitting and producing reports concerning environment; • To maintain regular publication of statistical reports, bulletins etc.
