#Water is the thread that connects climate change vulnerabilities and responses when it comes to climate #mitigation and #adaptation. 💦 Climate mitigation and adaptation measures must therefore focus on water as a priority. Countries are giving more predominance to water-related strategies in their nationally determined contributions (#NDCs) to the Paris Agreement. However, there remains considerable room for enhancing these measures, as many NDCs lack specific, quantitative targets and fail to consider the cross-sectoral impacts of water use. SIWI, through the support of #GIZ, has developed recommendations based on a review on how the inclusion of water has evolved within the NDCs. ⏩ Download the policy brief for a detailed analysis and examples from countries on how these national climate plans can be achieved in practice. 📄 --- #SIWI #WaterGovernance #WaterScarcity #WaterSolutions #Freshwater #ClimateChange #CliamteMitigation #ClimateAdaptation #ParisAgreement #SDGs #SDG6 #ResilientCities #Resilience

The importance of exchanging knowledge, experiences, and expertise in the #WASH sector cannot be overstated. SIWI’s Amman office, in collaboration with UNICEF Libya, hosted representatives for an exposure visit in #Jordan. The aim was to foster knowledge exchange and collaboration within the water sector, and included representatives from #Libya’s Ministry of Water Resources, the General Company for Water and Wastewater (GCWW), the Man-made River Project Execution and Management Authority (MMRA), and the General Desalination Company (GDC). Experts Manal S. Al-Shraideh, Lara Nassar and Moez Allaoui led the delegation through success stories of the WASH university programme, the nexus approach on agriculture, solar, and water efficiency as well as innovative solutions for flood management and irrigation. The lessons learned in #Amman, and in the Western Africa Northern Asia (#WANA) region in general, can help representatives in Libya and other regions to make more informed, sustainable, and climate resilient decisions. --- #SIWI #WaterGovernance #WASH #WaterAndSantation #Wastewater #WaterManagement #WaterResources #PrivateSector #MENA #ClimateMitigation #ClimateAdaptation #Agriculture #WaterScarcity #WaterSolutions #WaterCooperation #BridgingBorders

Very inspiring to see concrete impact of the LoCoFoRest training SIWI's experts provided a few weeks ago. Creating change, one tree 🌳 , one drop at a time 💧, all over the world. 🌐 Thanks for sharing your experience Quoc Dung Phan.

#WaterResilience has become a key agenda for #cities today. 🏙️ Most natural and climate-change induced disasters usually manifest through #water, such as floods, storms, water-borne disease outbreaks, and droughts. Amid the #ClimateChange impacts, it is necessary that cities prioritize on improving the governance of its #freshwater systems, including its #rivers. In this policy brief, SIWI's Panchali Saikia and Malin Lundberg Ingemarsson explain the governance gaps and present recommendations to accelerate convergence of #WaterGovernance and #ClimateAction.

JUNE 24 is International Day of #WomenInDiplomacy. 🌐 At SIWI, we are proud to support 'The Women in Water Diplomacy Network'. Since its inception in 2017 in the Nile Basin, the Network has gained tremendous momentum, reaching out to new members and expending to other regions all over the world. But most importantly, the Network plays an instrumental role in lifting members up in their careers. The illustration by SIWI's Radhika Gupta, was created for the last Global Network Forum, in Vienna, supported by Environmental Law Institute, OSCE and The Regional Environmental Centre for Central Asia. This artwork is a reminder of the collective power of women. Everyone is lifting each other up, to reach new heights by scaling the mountain itself. 🏔️ --- #SIWI #watergovernance #WaterDiplomacy #BridgingBorders #WaterSolutions #WaterWomen #GenderEquality #Gender #Inclusion

#Water and climate #mitigation are intrinsically linked, yet severe knowledge gaps exist on the complexities and potentials between them. Experts teamed up to expose these gaps, alert to policy implications, and exchange knowledge in the sixth chapter of the landmark report, 'The Essential Drop to Reach Net-Zero.'
