The UNEP-DHI Centre is developing an online tool to support upscaling of urban Nature based Solutions (NBS) climate solutions, under UNEP’s Generation Restoration initiative (2023-2025). The Urban NBS Tool will support the identification and assessment of key environmental data in the project cities, with the goal to better understand climate risks and NBS potential to address these risks within the pilot cities.
The report highlights the potential of using freshwater ecosystems to implement nature-based solutions (NbS) to tackle the triple planetary crisis – climate change, nature and biodiversity loss, and pollution. It draws from lessons learned from the implementation of different projects in Afghanistan, Albania, El-Salvador, Haiti, Kenya, Morocco, and Tanzania.
A new report from UNEP with contributions from UNEP-DHI Centre offers recommendations on how to combine water management and climate change adaptation approaches to mitigate the global water and climate change crises.
This CTCN Knowledge Brief provides an illuminating and inspiring overview of the use of NbS technologies in adopting and implementing holistic solutions that exploit synergies wherever possible to tackle climate change and water management challenges in rural, urban and coastal areas.
Join UNEP-DHI and CTCN on October 12th for the launch of this new publication, featuring cases and lessons learnt from implementing NBS in the region.
UNEP’s website page on Nature Based Solutions outlines the work they do on several critical areas such as reforestation and afforestation programmes, national ecosystem-based climate change adaptation plans and agro-ecological farming practices.
In January 2021, UNEP launched a new Mass Open Online Course on Nature-based Solutions for Disaster and Climate Resilience. The course is open to everyone wishing to deepen their knowledge on the topic and is completely free, with participants receiving a certificate upon course completion.
On the 22nd of September, The Global Water Partnership, Community of Women in Water, and World Bank Equal Aqua are partnering up to host a public event around how to better support women colleagues in the water sector
Cap-net UNDP, in partnership with GWA, have produced a self-learning tutorial aimed at water professionals that points to the benefits of including gender considerations in water management planning and practices.
Comprehensive fact page and resource directory on the challenges but also the opportunities related to mainstreaming Gender in IWRM.
GWP have contributed two key reports that aim to promote and facilitate the mainstreaming of gender into water governance as a key aspect of achieving water security.
A learning exchange online event on experiences with gender mainstreaming in WRM will take place on September 16th, 2021. Registration is open to all.
