The world needs dedicated action and resilience to climate change
Share your voice in the Dialogue on Climate Change Adaptation
for Land and Water Management
A girl reaches out her hand in order to do something, not to ask
for something. She is a symbol of initiative and adaptability to
climate change as those most vulnerable may hold the best answers.
Our dialogue process will gather and share these answers and best
practise cases in order to create new responses to climate change.
Please join us.
Why?
Land and water are the central elements of the climate change
dialogue, being the most affected by rising temperatures,
changes in rainfall patterns and extreme weather events.
Also, land and water are of fundamental importance to
poverty reduction.
The global challenge of learning to cope with the impacts of
climate change calls for enhanced action to find best practise
examples of robustness and resilience.
What?
The Dialogue on Climate Change Adaptation for Land and Water
Management is an ongoing process where the best measures to
address the challenges of climate change will be identified
and shared.
The purpose is to identify a number of guiding principles for
promoting integrated land and water management. The principles
will serve both as a guidance for future planning of land and
water management and as input to the negotiations leading to
the COP15 conference in Copenhagen in December 2009.
Who?
The dialogue process is based on a series of regional and
global conferences and workshops, involving developing
countries, the donor community, international organisations,
NGOs, civil society and researchers.
When?
The Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs hosted the first
conference on Climate Change Adaptation for Land and Water
Management in Copenhagen on 13th November 2008. Two regional
conferences take place in Hanoi on 19th to 21st January and
Bamako 18th and 19th February 2009. The concluding conference
will be convened in Nairobi in April 2009.
Your voice is important in finding the right principles.
