GWP operational strategy for
building climate resilience through water security(Goal 2)
Better climate information
GWP´s approach : - Work with UNFCCC and the COPs (global level)
- Focus on the extreme events : building the integrated flood management and
integrated drought management programmes (with WMO) (regional level)
- Integrate National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) with IWRM plans, and build these into
national development planning (country level)
