The Second CARIN virtual workshop will be held online May 12-13, 2022. All Working Group reports of the IPCC 6th Assessment have now been released. It is fair to say that Central Asia remains a bit of mystery to the international community of scientists, scholars, and policymakers. Our objective in the workshop will be to identify how these knowledge gaps can be addressed through collaborative efforts facilitated by CARIN. Please join us both for talks by regional and international scholars and for the working groups aimed to identify and enable collaborations.
