IWRM as Tool for Adaptation to Climate Change. Panama City.
This training of trainers' course is a collaboration between Cap-Net, APFM/WMO and REDICA to capacitate water professionals, capacity builders, local authorities and other stakeholders to adapt to changing climatic conditions. It follows on from a consultation between Cap-Net network p[artners on how to address climate change within water resources management capacity building.
Objective
The aim of the training is to ensure that water managers and local authorities are able to apply sustainable water management principles and instruments to adapt to climate variability. The immediate objective is to train capacity builders, managers and water professionals in IWRM as a tool for adaptation to climate change.
Target group
The training will mainly target participants with capacity building responsibilities in order to ensure replication and scaling-up of programmes and impacts across the Cap-Net global network. The workshop will in particular target participants with knowledge and experience in capacity building and research in the field of climate variability and techniques and instruments for adaptation. In this context, participants are expected to come from multidisciplinary backgrounds. The expected number of participants is 25, respecting gender and geographic balance.
