Water and Climate Programme
ThematicStrategy
1. Water and Climate Development Programme in the regions (WACDEP)
2. GWP/WMO Integrated Drought Management
Programme (IDMP)3. GWP/WMO Associated Programme on Flood Management (APFM)
4. Enabling Delta Life initiative
OUR VEHICLES-
WACDEP: No/low regret investments Delta Initiative, APFM and IDMP as a resource
5
Enabling Delta Life initiativeA Global Programme of Action – Joint GWP and Delta Alliance
The overall objective is to enhance climate resilience and strengthen the governance and adaptive management of deltas
The programme aims toIncrease knowledge on adaptive delta management in the GWP and Delta Alliance networkCatalyse changes in specific deltas by creating actions and adaptation options at different scales, from local to global.
6
Programme development
•Workshops to develop the initiative – Stockholm World Water Week 2012 and GWP Consulting Partners Meeting•Discussion paper following up on workshops and online discussions – March 2013•Delta stakeholder consultation meetings in collaboration with GWP country water partnerships and Delta Alliance Wings – 2013•Development of Global Programme of Action – 2014
7
Programme backbone
•The programme follows the structure of the 8 GWP work packages with specific attention on:
Delta Vulnerability and Resilience Assessments Toolbox for adaptive delta management Delta Projects in Benin, Egypt, Bangladesh, Myanmar and
Cambodia/Vietnam – developed through stakeholder consultations in collaboration with GWP Country Water Partnerships and Delta Alliance Wings
8
Example activities•Bangladesh: Building climate resilience in the Ganges-Brahmaputra delta by managing for effective water solutions• E.g. activity: Support the development of delta plan in Bangladesh
•Benin: Support conditions improvement in the Ouémé delta to stimulate its development and to ensure its sustainable management • E.g. activity: Support enhanced stakeholder capacity in Ouémé delta
•Egypt: Improve the capability of the farming community to deal with water stress in the Nile delta• E.g. activity: Support capacity building to deal with water stress in Nile delta
•Myanmar: Vulnerability assessment and impacts of and adaptive solutions for salinity intrusion in the Ayeyarwady delta • E.g. activity: Support development of adaptation strategy for salinity intrusion in Myanmar
•Cambodia and Vietnam: Improve climate resilience in the provincial Cambodia-Vietnam transboundary Mekong area • Support cooperation and knowledge sharing on water governance, agriculture and fisheries in
Mekong delta

GLOBAL FRAMEWORK FOR CLIMATE SERVICES
WORLD CLIMATE CONFERENCE - 3Geneva, Switzerland31 August–4 September 2009
GOAL:ENABLE BETTER MANAGEMENT OF THE RISKS OF CLIMATE VARIABILITY AND CHANGE AND ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGE AT ALL LEVELS, THROUGH DEVELOPMENT AND INCORPORATION OF SCIENCE-BASED CLIMATEINFORMATION AND PREDICTION INTO PLANNING, POLICY AND PRACTICE.
GFCS PRIORITIES
• AGRICULTURE• DISASTER RISK REDUCTION
• WATER• HEALTH
The GWP/WMO Associated Programme on Flood Management (APFM)
Settling on floodplains has enormous advantages…
…but at the same time poses great risks
Traditional interventions of flood management Emphasis on ‘Control’ rather than ‘Management’ River morphological behaviour is not factored Structural measures generally disturb eco-system balance
and give a false sense of security to people Rather than mitigating flood risk we largely succeeded in
only shifting them spatially & temporarily Planned in isolation from other development issues and on
local scales (local and partial solution)
Problem primarily addressed based on engineering solutions (monodisciplinary)
Comprehensive flood management policies are neglected policy issues
Non-structural measures: weak coordination poor communication strategies limited or passive community participation
◦ IFM integrates and mixes strategies◦ Structural and Non-structural◦ Short-term and Long-term◦ Local and basin level measures
◦ Balances development needs and environmental concerns◦ Addresses all aspects of Flood Management
◦ Scientific and Engineering◦ Social Aspects◦ Environmental Aspects◦ Economic Aspects◦ Legal and Institutional Aspects
◦ Adaptive Management
Towards sustainable development
From defensive to pro-active approaches;
From Ad-hoc to Integrated Flood Management
Towards a culture of prevention by managing flood risk & living with floods;
Balancing flood risk and achieving sustainable development needs;
Change in decision making processes to include risk management approaches.
Paradigm shift required
Mission
“to support countries in the integrated management of floods within the overall framework of Integrated Water Resources Management.”

The challenge
What is needed?Identification of problems and gaps
What is possible?presenting opportunities and existing capacities
APFM provides: Vocational training (short training and workshops for different target groups)
Specific topics and contact with experts:Integrated flood management,urban flood management,community-based approaches

Integrated Drought Management
Programme (IDMP)
The Cycle of Disaster Management
Source: Wilhite 2006
IDMP Approach1. From reactive to proactive measures through
drought mitigation, vulnerability reduction and preparedness;
2. To integrate the vertical planning and decision making processes at regional, national and community levels into a multi-stakeholder approach including key sectors, especially agriculture and energy;
3. To promote the evolution of the drought knowledge base and to establish a mechanism for sharing knowledge and providing services to stakeholders across sectors at all levels;
4. To build capacity of various stakeholders at different levels.
Engaging Partners
• High interest at the global level IDMP Advisory Committee attended by 15 organizations
• Exchange of letters with interested Organizations and defining activities of cooperation using the IDMP as a platform.
• On development of IDMP Help Desk, IDMP will engage Support Based Partners (SBP) to respond to Help Desk requests
• Partners will focus on technical area of mutual interest

Expected Outcomes IDMP
The IDMP aims to add value and close the gaps with regard to:• Better scientific understanding of, and inputs for, drought
management; • Improved knowledge base, with better access to information and
products;• Capacity for drought risk assessment, monitoring, prediction
and early warning; • Improved policy and planning for drought preparedness and
mitigation across sectors; and • Drought risk reduction and response.
