Venue: Online webinars

Organizer: UNESCO’s Division of Water Sciences, the Alliance for Global Water Adaptation (AGWA) and the International Center for Integrated Water Resources Management (ICIWaRM)

Summary: Over the past ten-plus years, various organizations have developed a set of complementary resilient water management tools and approaches that work to address climate risks and other uncertainties in a manner that can be integrated within existing planning, design, and operational decision processes. These “bottom-up approaches” differ from the dominant paradigm guiding water management for the past half-century — namely the assumption that we can use past hydrological and climatic data to confidently predict (and plan for) the future. The webinars, intended for technical water management professionals as well as individuals working in climate / water policy and planning, will introduce the technical and practical components of bottom-up approaches, spanning a range of topics and underscored by examples of real-world applications.
