Cc operational strategy

This document outlines the impacts of climate change on water resources and proposes strategies for GWP to address this issue. Key impacts include increasing droughts, sea level rise, water stress, and displaced populations. GWP's strategy includes advocacy to raise awareness, intellectual contributions to share knowledge, and supporting solution development. Solutions could involve policy changes, financing, institutions, and technologies to build climate resilience through improved water management. The strategy is still being developed and will take a programmatic approach involving partners from different organizations.
Cc operational strategy
- 1. Draft Operational Strategy on Adapting to Climate Change Alex Simalabwi GWP Regional Days August 2011
- 2. Of the 12 years (from 1995-2006), 11 are among the 12 warmest since records began in 1850.
- 4. Global Impacts and Issues
- 5. Global Trends in disasters since 1900
- 6. Drought and Desertification Drought, desertification estimated to affect one-third of the world’s population and are predicted to worsen
- 7. Sea Level Rise Millions of people low-lying coastal areas,SIDS at risk over the 21st century
- 8. Delta losses Rising sea levels to result in freshwater losses in river delta systems
- 9. Water Stress 700 million people in 43 countries live below the water-stress threshold of 1,700 cubic metres per person. By 2025 that figure will reach 3 billion
- 10. Gender Impacts increased frequency of droughts means that women are walking greater distances to collect water, often ranging from 10-15 km/ day
- 11. Ecosystems & Forests Changes in hydrology to have wide-ranging impacts on ecosystem diversity
- 12. Glacial Melt & Mountain Populations increase flood risk to one-sixth of the world’s population, predominantly in the Indian sub-continent, parts of China, and the Andes in South America
- 13. Climate Migration and Displacement A global temperature increase of 3-4°C could cause 330 million people displaced
- 14. Agriculture and Food Systems Disruption of food production systems may expose an additional 75–125 million people to threat of hunger
- 15. Transboundary Impacts An estimated 145 states have international basins within their territory, and 30 countries lie entirely within them
- 16. Finance and GDP UNFCCC-additional costs for adaptation in the water sector $9 – 11 billion in 2030 World Bank- $13.7 billion in drier scenarios, and $19.2 billion in wetter scenarios for ‘Water Supply and Flood Management’.
- 19. GWP Response
- 20. Goal 2: Address critical development challenges This means contributing to solutions for critical challenges to water security, such as climate change , urbanisation, food production, resource related conflict and other challenges .
- 21. Expected outcomes-2a Outcome 2a: National and regional policy makers, civic organisations, water managers and international development agencies take into account the links between water and climate change, and develop solutions for adapting the management of water resources to climate change. Advocacy Helping policy makers understand the links between water and climate change b.Solution development Supporting policy makers to develop solutions for adapting the management of water resources to climate change for development
- 22. Expected outcomes-2c Outcome 2 c: International actors and multi-lateral policy processes work with a clearer understanding of the options available for tackling emerging and on-going challenges facing water security Intellectual contributions to enable international actors and multi-lateral policy processes work with a clearer understanding of the options available for tackling emerging and on-going challenges facing water security
- 23. GWP Response ISSUE -Modest progress; TEC & Regions Intellectual contributions Need Tools for guiding decision making, decision support Tools - dealing with uncertainity, no/low regret measures, resilience, vulnerability,etc, some focus on policies uncertainity?? Solutions development Major focus of the interventions -Dialogues,workshops,meetings Advocacy
- 24. Towards an operational strategy
- 26. a. Advocacy
- 27.
