According to the source, US-led Geneva negotiations in February 2026 have stalled, reflecting long-standing incompatibilities over territory, sovereignty, and security alignment. Past mediation efforts show limited success on transactional measures (e.g., grain corridors, prisoner exchanges) but repeated failure to secure a comprehensive settlement.
A study cited by The Diplomat projects the Tian Shan—Central Asia’s “water tower”—could lose roughly one-third of its glaciers by 2040, with much larger mass losses possible under prevailing climate trajectories. The resulting shift toward earlier runoff and reduced late-summer flows raises risks for irrigation-dependent economies and complicates hydropower expansion and transboundary water governance.
