Basin Seventh Meeting

 

The seventh meeting of the Global network of basins working on climate change adaptation was organised on 25-26 May 2023 in Geneva in a hybrid format. The meeting aimed to exchange experience and updates on the benefits and added value of developing and implementing climate change adaptation strategies and plans in transboundary basins and focused on the following topics:


•    drought management in transboundary basins under changing climate; 
•    linkages between global processes on water, environment, climate and biodiversity;
•    adaptation of wetlands to climate change in transboundary basins; and
•    financing transboundary climate change adaptation.


The meeting also discussed future activities within the Global network including how to further facilitate a regular exchange of experience between the participating basins, the on-line Compendium of good practices and lessons learnt in climate change adaptation in transboundary basins and other similar initiatives.
