Climate & Water
Projects in Afghanistan

This research investigating climate change impacts on women and children in Logar and Wardak provinces, Afghanistan. The 3-month study (September 9 – December 10, 2025) addresses critical knowledge gaps concerning climate-induced vulnerabilities among Afghanistan's most at-risk populations within the current complex cultural and governance context.

This comprehensive climate-induced displacement study spans six provinces in southwestern Afghanistan, incorporating 675 household surveys, 30 expert interviews, 6 focus group discussions, and extensive environmental analysis to examine climate-migration patterns. Funded by The Liaison Office (TLO) and published in ACS ES&T Water (Q1 journal, 2024).

This technical report presents the methodology and results for identifying groundwater potential zones (GWPZ) in the Lower Hari-Rud River Basin, Afghanistan, using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The study integrates seven thematic parameters to generate a comprehensive groundwater potential map for sustainable water resource management in this arid region.

This research study demonstrates our commitment to accessibility and local engagement through comprehensive translation services. Originally published in English and funded by The Liaison Office (TLO), "Impacts of Climate Change on Migration and Internal Displacement" has been professionally translated into Farsi-Dari and submitted to the National Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA). This bilingual approach ensures critical findings reach Afghan policymakers, government agencies, and local communities in their native language, facilitating informed environmental policy and decision-making.
