This is a 3-year joint program of the Global Campus of Human Rights, lasting from 2026 to 2029.  

The Global Campus Central Asia is a partner and implementer of this program, fostering various aspects of Climate Perspective Education (CPE), including climate education and research, data collection, student conferences, workshops, and junior- and senior-level research publications.
This Global Campus of Human Rights in Central Asia is bringing together regional programs and partners in Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Mongolia.

The aim is to mainstream climate perspectives in human rights education and strengthen understanding of the links between climate change and human rights and its impact on day-to-day lives.

The three-year project was inaugurated in September 2026 and is supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
The Global Campus Central Asia component, based at the OSCE Academy in Bishkek and integrated within the MAHRS Programme, brings these objectives into the context of Central Asia, namely interconnected challenges related to climate change, environmental degradation, livelihoods, resource pressures and human mobility.

The CPE Project provides a platform for exploring these challenges through a human rights perspective, with particular attention to:

• Climate governance and human rights
• Climate-induced migration and displacement
• Environmental justice and vulnerable groups
• Climate adaptation, mitigation and sustainable development

The initiative supports integrating climate perspectives into human rights education, teaching, and student research, alongside workshops and practical learning.

Students and researchers are encouraged to explore climate and human rights issues relevant to Central Asia, while connecting their work to the broader research and educational objectives of the MAHRS Programme.
The CPE Project within GC Central Asia aims to contribute regional perspectives to the wider international initiative, while creating opportunities to exchange knowledge and experience across regions.
As the project develops, it will provide a space for students, researchers and partners to explore emerging climate and human rights challenges and strengthen regional and global dialogue on climate justice, governance and sustainability.
