GWP operational strategy for building climate resilience through water security(Goal 2)

Better climate information

GWP´s approach : - Work with UNFCCC and the COPs (global level)

- Focus on the extreme events : building the integrated flood management and

integrated drought management programmes (with WMO) (regional level)

- Integrate National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) with IWRM plans, and build these into

national development planning (country level)

Thank you !
