To assess the impact of climate change on freshwater resources in the Arab Region through a consultative and integrated regional initiative that seeks to identify the socio-economic and environmental vulnerability caused by climate change impacts on water resources based on regional specificities.
The Regional Initiative aims to provide a common platform for addressing and responding to climate change impacts on freshwater resources in the Arab region by serving as the
basis for dialogue, priority setting and policy formulation on climate change adaptation at the regional level.
Regional Initiative for the Assessment of the Impact ofClimate Change on Water Resources and
Socio-Economic Vulnerability in the Arab Region(RICCAR)

Governance structure
-The RKH will be supervised by an Executive Board/Advisory Body under League of Arab States (e.g. LAS climate change and water technical committees). - Governance structure should be included in a document and should have a regulatory and legislative basis.
