ALM UNDP

* The setting up of global, regional, national and city to city networks of national and local government associations, non-governmental bodies, universities, the private sector, and UN organizations addressing climate change;
* Localization and implementation of national adaptation and mitigation strategies;
* The strengthening of capacities of local authorities to integrate climate change concerns in local and city wide planning and budgeting for cost-effective policy responses;
* The strengthening of the capacities of local government training institutes to provide climate change training for local governments.

* Improved livelihoods of about 200,000 mainly nomadic people living in and around the area e.g. revived recession agriculture along the lake’s shores and restored fishery will boost the local businesses and provide food for the communities;
* The lifeline of thousands of migratory water birds will be restored;
* Increased availability of drinking water for humans and livestock, including groundwater;
* Enhanced institutional, organisational and technical capacity to engage local user groups in sustainable natural resource management.

CLICO pursues the following objectives:

* To understand and model the relationships between hydro-climatic hazards, climate change vulnerability, human security and conflict, on the basis of theoretically-informed, comparative empirical research.

* To map international and national policies for security and adaptation in water resources and hazard management, and develop a policy model for security against hydro-climatic hazards (“hydro-security”) in the MMES region, applicable to the UN, EU and national states.

* To establish a network of experts from different disciplines for identification and definition of internationally shared aquifers.
* To promote scientific, legal, socio-economic, institutional and environmental assessment of internationally shared aquifer resources.
* To identify several Case Studies of internationally shared aquifers and support multidiciplinary experts teams to conduct detailed investigations.
* To learn, from Case Studies, the issues relevant to good management of internationally shared aquifers resources.
* To raise the awareness of policy and decision makers of the significant and importance of transboundary aquifer resources, forming a critical component of the world freshwater resources.
* To disseminate the lessons learnt from Case Studies and encourage policy and decision makers to incorporate appropriate internationally shared aquifer management.
* To promote co-operation among experts from the different countries that share transboundary aquifers, through making available scientific tools, water resource management options and methodologies that apply to such aquifers.

- Assessment of data and information needs for preparation of the joint Flood Risk Management Plan for the Sava river basin and identification of data sources on national and international level,

- Initial flood vulnerability assessment of the Sava river basin and identification of the most vulnerable areas;

- Assessment if additional modelling of climate change impact on flood vulnerability is needed (starting point are WATCAP results),

- Preliminary identification of possible adaptation measures (costs, effectiveness, side effects, vulnerability reduction, feasibility of implementation, alternatives etc.);

- Preparation of a detailed Program for preparation of the first Flood risk management plan

- Scenario- and modelling-based study of climate change impacts with a special focus on extreme floods in the Dniester basin
- Vulnerability assessment and production of flood hazard and risk/ vulnerability maps
- Improved / new automated flow monitoring stations and data exchange infrastructure
- Enhanced capacities and plans for flood risk communication on the sub-basin / local level
- Agreement and planning of further measures for flood risk reduction, and, if possible, implementation of selected small measures
