UNDP-ALM
Year:
2010
Summary:

 The 2010 Adaptation Knowledge Needs Survey was conducted to assess the current state of knowledge needs for CCA in order to identify knowledge needs and gaps to further the understanding of climate change impacts, vulnerabilities, and innovative adaptation approaches; and to identify key services (e.g. training workshops, seminars, newsletters, etc.) to facilitate knowledge exchange on current adaptation practices and lessons learned. The survey was made available in English, French and Spanish.

Integrating climate change risks into water and flood management by vulnerable mountainous communities in the Greater Caucasus region of Azerbaijan

View the full country profile for Azerbaijan

  • Project details

  • Implementing Agency:
    Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources
    Summary:

    Azerbaijan belongs to the world’s water stress countries. With current deficit of water resources being about 5 km3, the additional pressures on water resources due to climate change will seriously affect the rural water supply. The region of Greater Caucasus has been identified as particularly vulnerable in this regard. Paradoxically, most of the quality ground waters are formed in foothills of the Greater and Lesser Caucasus and constitute 24 million m3 (8.8.km3) per year. However, currently, only 20% of a total resource has been used.

    Project Components:
    1. Water and Flood management policy and regulatory frameworks to respond to climate change risks
    2. Technical capacities to improve climate risk management in the Greater Caucasus
    3. Water and Flood management practices demonstrated to lead to community resilience
    Expected Outputs:

    Outcomes:

    1. Water and Flood management framework is modified to respond to adaptation needs and improve climate risk management on over 22,067 sq. km 3of land in highly vulnerable region of Greater Caucasus.
    2. Key institutions have capacities, technical skills, tools and methods to apply advanced climate risk management practices for water stress and flood mitigation.
    3. Community resilience to floods and water stress improved by introducing locally tailored climate risk management practices benefiting over 1,000,000 people on total land area of 22,067 km2 of the Southern slopes of the Greater Caucasus.

Climate Change Adaptation in the Tropical Andes

Summary:

The hydrologic stability of the Andean region depends on the services provided by micro-ecosystems found around and above 4000 masl (paramos, wetlands and glaciers).  Extremes in temperatures and an increase of precipitation and periods of drought will affect the region as a whole, exacerbating the intensity of natural disasters.  Such conditions endanger food security and disrupt the fragile hydrologic stability of the region, thereby jeopardizing the provision of water for downstream South American populations.  This project proposes a three-pronged appr
