A large proportion of the rural population depends on agriculture, and weather-related calamities are exerting increasing pressure on natural resources and agricultural sectors, the major contributors to Tajikistan's gross domestic products (GDP.) The resulting environmental degradation has taken a significant toll on the economic and sustainable development of the country. Despite the significant importance of the issue for Tajikistan's current and future economic growth, the negative effects of environmental degradation are missing from the country's economic analysis and government priorities, and are not considered in its medium-term macro projections. In order to address these concerns, the overall objective of this study is to enhance the understanding of the economic costs of environmental degradation, and to promote improved management and planning at national and subnational levels in Tajikistan. 650 4 Agriculture 650 4 Crops and Crop Management Systems 650 4 Environment 650 4 Environmental Disasters and Degradation 650 4 Environmental Economics and Policies 650 4 Natural Disasters 650 4 Sustainable Land Management 830 0 Other Environmental Study. 830 0 World Bank e-Library. 906 BOOK
