Scope The Central Asian region is a place where unique natural conditions, significant natural resource potential, and an increasingly rapidly changing and developing socio-economic environment (the countries of Central Asia) are concentrated. At the same time, this arid region, where climate change is most pronounced, is a natural open laboratory with the potential to collectively study mineral resources, their exploration, geological research (based on satellite and remote sensing methods and technologies), ancient flora and fauna, biological diversity, and the natural disasters that affect them. Therefore, at the conference of this society, we propose the section " Central Asian Climate, Biodiversity, Environment, and Geological Challenges". We plan to discuss various topics such as natural disasters caused by climate change, the loss of biological diversity, research into geographical structures and geological stages, and mineral exploration and research.
