The increasing conviction of the reality of climate change provides a new impetus for reforming water management. The IWRM approach provides management instruments and tools for effective adaptation. For simple self-learning on IWRM and adaptation to climate change, Cap-Net, WMO/APFM, UNESCO-IHE and other partners have developed an online tutorial based on the training manual and facilitators guide "IWRM as a Tool for Adaptation to Climate Change".
The tutorial is intended to contribute to a better understanding of the use and effectiveness of application of IWRM concepts and principles when strategising for climate change adaptation. The target audience includes water managers and high level officials responsible for developing adaptation strategies. Other beneficiaries include academics and students.

At the occasion of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD) in Rio in Brazil this year, Cap-Net will offer the conference participants the opportunity to improve their water management knowledge through half day courses. The courses will be facilitated by experienced capacity builders from international partner organisations and capacity building networks affiliated to Cap-Net. They will make use of existing and tested Cap-Net training materials. The courses will be held at the Sustainable Development Learning Centre - a capacity building event consisting of multiple courses on crucial aspects of sustainable development.
