The Programme goal is to help countries to systemize their efforts on climate change adaptation using GWP CACENA framework, which promotes power of IWRM as a tool for climate-resilient development.
Outcome of the project will be increased capacity and ability of CACENA region to adapt to climatic variability and increase water security
The anticipated outputs are:
- Central Asia and Caucasus countries supported in the development of “no/low regret” investments and measures to increase climate resilience and integrate these measures into river basin management plans, other national plans, programmes and, budgets;
- Solutions in place for addressing critical water security challenges to enhance climate resilience of countries and communities;
- Knowledge and capacity developed for enhancing water security and climate resilience;
- Operational GWP network working with strategic allies and stakeholders to integrate water security and climate resilience in the development process.
