The Global Water Partnership: We bring the “stakes” together
• Emergence of a new global
development agenda – with synergies
• Risk of fragmentation: Can we mobilize
collaboration beyond water?
• Technology changes, data revolution
and new approaches to
learning/innovation
• 3000+ partners in over 183 countries
x 60 country platforms
• Flexible, adaptable network that delivers
monitorable results
• Implementation knowledge on IWRM
and beyond – including innovation and
pilots
Our Assets
New Opportunities

• Balance political, technical and financial feasibility
• Success depends on stakeholder ownership, gender equality,
ensure inclusion of vulnerable groups
• Build embedded in-country capacity, knowledge
• Lack of funding for water-related projects not a shortage of
finance – understand requireements, improve coordination
Our experience
• Data + information + MSP  Hydro-climate services
• Balance top-down (climate models) and bottom-up
(vulnerability assessment). Communicate uncertainty
• Make the economic case, communicate, addressing
real-world problems with practical solutions
NAP Expo Session: Integrating Climate Risk Information into Adaptation Planning www.gwp.org08 April 2019
• Spending on water-related climate projects a small proportion of
climate finance flows
• Appetite-Design gap
• Lack of well-prepared project
• Limited understanding of funding requirement
• Varying levels of capacity for project preparation
• Country ownership?
• Lack of clearly identified climate rationale
• What are the climate change induced risks and vulnerabilities?
• What is the additionality of the proposed interventions due to climate
change?
What about implementation and financing?

What next for applying Climate Services for
NAP development and implementation
:Mobilizing:
• Voice & capacity of national met & hydrological
Services
• Relationships on the ground for application
Implementing:
• Standard setting: Authoritative guidance and
methods
• Leverage climate action: Connecting hydrology and
climatology (knowledge & institutions  actions) –
Hydro-Climate Services
Learning
• Know what & know how: Technical expertise from
data to hydro-climate services/products, water
management and adaptation
• Data: building access

NAP Expo Session: Integrating Climate Risk Information into Adaptation Planning www.gwp.org08 April 2019 • Spending on water-related climate projects a small proportion of climate finance flows • Appetite-Design gap • Lack of well-prepared project • Limited understanding of funding requirement • Varying levels of capacity for project preparation • Country ownership? • Lack of clearly identified climate rationale • What are the climate change induced risks and vulnerabilities? • What is the additionality of the proposed interventions due to climate change? What about implementation and financing?

  • 22. NAP Expo Session: Integrating Climate Risk Information into Adaptation Planning www.gwp.org08 April 2019 What next for applying Climate Services for NAP development and implementation :Mobilizing: • Voice & capacity of national met & hydrological Services • Relationships on the ground for application Implementing: • Standard setting: Authoritative guidance and methods • Leverage climate action: Connecting hydrology and climatology (knowledge & institutions  actions) – Hydro-Climate Services Learning • Know what & know how: Technical expertise from data to hydro-climate services/products, water management and adaptation • Data: building access NMHS and Multi- Stakeholder Platforms Action beyond water
