UNEP-DHI provides technical assistance to strengthening climate information and multi-hazard early warning systems for increased resilience in Azerbaijan. The goal of this project is to establish capacity in Azerbaijan to make available reliable climate information services and a people-centered impact-based multi-hazard early warning system (IB-MHEWS).
UNEP-DHI provides technical assistance to strengthen climate-resilient transboundary water governance and management in Eastern Africa. The project is funded by the Danish Foreign Ministry (DANIDA) and is implemented in partnership with UN Environment Programme and IUCN.
UNEP-DHI is providing technical assistance to the Strengthening the Flood Preparedness and Early Warning System in Sudan project in 2023-2024. Funded by the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN), the project is implemented in partnership with the Nile Water Affairs Department of the Ministry of Irrigation and Water Resources, Sudan.
The UNEP-DHI Centre is supporting the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in the five-year “RESTORE” initiative by delivering detailed hydrological assessments and decision-support modelling that will guide the rehabilitation and sustainable operation of the Jowhar Off-stream Storage Programme, strengthen flood and drought management across the Shabelle Basin, and build climate-resilient livelihoods for communities in south-central Somalia.
The UNEP-DHI Centre is supporting the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in its efforts to curb plastic pollution by developing digital solutions to estimate plastic pollution in rivers and freshwater ecosystems, as well as in facilitating data sharing on plastics across organisations and nations.
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 Global Wetland Watch supports countries to protect and restore the world’s wetland ecosystems by utilizing both satellite and in-situ data, and provide high resolution global map layers on wetlands. Facilitated by the UNEP-DHI Centre on Water and Environment, DHI will take the lead in the machine learning and system development, while UNEP will provide strategic leadership and secure political and institutional engagement from governments.
UNEP-DHI is providing technical assistance to the Reversing Ecosystem and Water Degradation in the Volta River Basin (REWarD) project in 2023-2026. Funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) through UNEP and IUCN, the five-year project is being implemented by the Volta Basin Authority (VBA) and the Global Water Partnership-West Africa (GWP-WA) between 2023-2028.
