Contributing to a major United Nations environmental meeting convened in Stockholm, Sweden, GWP and partners are convening a side event to champion ‘Water Alignment that enables water aligned finance, strategy, and action.’
GWP and Cap-Net, with the support of UNEP and UNDP, implemented a pilot project from 2020 – 2022 to help countries protect and restore freshwater ecosystems, with a focus on capacity-development, action planning through multi-stakeholder engagement, and integration of environmental data within relevant decision-making processes.
Africa is particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change due to a number of interlinked challenges, including land degradation, poverty, and extreme weather events. The continent also has a low adaptive capacity, in part due to financial and technical constrains, and a heavy reliance on rain-fed agriculture.
The water pole of the Gaston Berger University of Saint-Louis (partner of the CWP) organized a workshop with the aim of providing feedback from the World Water Forum held in Dakar from 21 to 26 March 2022.
On 18 November, a virtual meeting is held to present the findings of two surveys that were conducted to evaluate what the impact of the Governance and International Water Law Training has been, and to discuss the proposed new approach to sustain this initiative in the future.
