Partnership sets foundation for climate resilience programme

Central America is one of the most vulnerable regions in the world with regards to climate change.

In 2012, GWP Central America worked closely with the Central America Commission on Environment and Development (CCAD) to highlight the integrated approach to water resources management as essential for climate change adaptation. The message was promoted among policy-makers and governments, as well as at a number of regional meetings and workshops held throughout the year.

Because of those activities, GWP Central America is seen as a credible partner in the regional processes on climate change and CCAD considers GWP important to the lobbying process at both regional and – with the involvement of Country Water Partnerships – national level. This partnership helped create the foundation for the GWP Central American Programme on Water and Climate Change, which will be launched in 2013.
