WACDEP Technical Coordination Workshop

2

• To increase the understanding of climate resilience and opportunities within the global climate discourse

• To share experiences from the different regions on the challenges and solutions in the implementation of WACDEP

WACDEP Workshop- 2 main objectives

3

• To discuss ways of advancing water security in regional and national adaptation planning processes

• To deepen the understanding of access to climate finance and the opportunities available for advancing water governance and management

• To increase the understanding of GWP’s potential role in investment planning and project preparation

• To discuss and find solutions on advancing community resilience through demonstration projects

• To share experiences on capacity development aimed at developing institutional capacities to integrate water security and climate resilience

• To discuss programme management issues and how to ensure sustainability and growth of WACDEP interventions

The specific objectives are:

4

1. Policy process• Influencing global climate policy agenda and role of water security• Promoting coherence on adaptation• Collaboration with UN agencies-NAP Global Support Programme

2. Scientific process-Collaboration with WMO• Global Framework for Climate Services,• Flood and drought management programmes• Synthesis IPCC findings on water

3. Influencing practice- Linking global policy to action• Regional and transboundary approach to adaptation• Integrate water security into national development• Community level demonstration projects

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading international body for the assessment of climate change.

It was established by UNEP and WMO1988 to provide the world with a clear scientific view on the current state of knowledge in climate change and its potential environmental and socio-economic impacts.

IPCCC

IPCC Report 2014 on impacts, vulnerablity and adapataion

Risk of climate-related impacts results from the interaction of climate-related hazards with the vulnerability and exposure of human and natural systems. Changes in both the climate system (left) and socioeconomic processes including adaptation and mitigation (right) are drivers of hazards, exposure, and vulnerability.
