- 1. SCIENTIFIC CAPACITY STRENGTHENING FOR WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT FACING CLIMATE CHANGE Cecilia Öman Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden International Foundation for Science
- 2. Content Local strategies Ownership Monitoring and evaluation Scientific capacity strengthening activities
- 4. Cleaner Development Mechanism CDM Subsidising investments to decrease emissions of carbon dioxide
- 5. Challenge one Developing countries lack institutional and economic capacity to cope with climate change impacts and to rebuild the infrastructure damaged by natural disasters Dependent on external aid when affected by a natural disaster, developing countries are Lack the resources to carry out adaptation studies and to implement the strategies emerging from these studies Cecilia Öman
- 6. Carbon credit Trading system between industrialised countries and developing countries One carbon credit equals one ton of carbon dioxide emitted Value on the spot market (10-25€/carbon credit) Cecilia Öman
- 7. Eligibility Qualified countries are those who signed the Kyoto protocol Qualified project are those where the owner can show that the carbon credits are required to fund the necessary investments Thus the investment are not economical sound without the subsidizing of carbon credits Cecilia Öman
- 8. Typical CDM projects Wind mill farms Small Hydropower plants Different furnaces cement and steel industry Collection and energy production of biogas from landfills … and all those projects would not been invested in unless subsidized by carbon credits Cecilia Öman
- 9. Sustainable local strategy Local strategies builds on Identifying priorities, providing information, research Change in behaviour builds on Ownership, motivation Sutstainability requires Monitoring and evaluation Scientific capacity can be efficiently strengthened Through a well defined program of activities Cecilia Öman
- 10. Local strategies
- 11. Target Access to • high quality technology • at all levels Well defined roles • implementation of and responsibilities adaptation strategies Dissemination of • regional, national, local information • climate change, adaptation
- 12. Local strategies Science-based analysis and modeling Provide communities with local information Identify priorities for climate change adaptation planning
- 13. Local information Changing temperatures Precipitation patterns Glacial recession Changing stream and river flows Cecilia Öman
- 14. Address stakeholders High-level especially targeted policy makers Sectoral level more likely to mainstream policy makers, adaptation to climate planners and change into on-going and managers planned work National and international share their knowledge with decision makers experts and and planners researchers
- 15. Local strategy participatory approach 1. The relevant stakeholders from the most vulnerable sectors of the economy and regions within the country are involved 2. High-level policy makers are aware of the importance of the issue 3. The general public is made more aware about the issues 4. Special focus is given to the most vulnerable regions and populations within each country 5. All relevant institutions within the government as well as civil society need to be made aware of the problem and their respective roles in dealing with it Cecilia Öman
