Climate change and human activities have become the biggest challenges to the sustainable development of agriculture in the Syr Darya River Basin. The spatial distribution pattern of land use and the current status of water resources development and utilization in the Syr Darya River Basin were studied, and the changing trends of temperature and precipitation in the Syr Darya River Basin from 1950 to 2021 were focused on analysis. The results show that the areas of cultivated land, forest land, grassland, construction land and bare land in the basin has shown an increasing trend on the whole from 2000 to 2015. From 1950 to 2021, the rate of temperature increase in the Syr Darya River Basin was 0.323°C/10a, and the rate of precipitation increase was 1.393 mm/10a. This research provides a scientific basis for realizing the rational development and utilization of land and water resources in the Syr Darya River Basin.
