This chapter describes a methodological approach to be used in developing regional climate change scenarios for southeastern Kazakhstan. It also addresses possibilities for using these scenarios in impact assessments in various economic and natural resource sectors. The regional scenarios are based on the output data of the global climate models and their interpretation at a case site in the Lake Balkhash basin.
