Integrated Water Resources Management for Climate Resilience, developed by UNEP-DHI in partnership with Cap-Net UNDP, UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre, UN-Habitat, Global Water Partnership and UNDP, is an online, free and self-paced course that offers five modules designed to help practitioners plan climate resilient measures in the water sector.
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the custodian agency for Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) indicator 6.5.1 on integrated water resources management (IWRM) implementation, with UNEP-DHI responsible for supporting countries to monitor and report, including through the SDG 6 IWRM Support Programme.
Data from the third round of global reporting on SDG indicator 6.5.1 are now live on the IWRM Data Portal. The portal contains all country reports, summaries, and the full global dataset. Across three reporting cycles, 191 countries have submitted data on SDG 6.5.1, with 137 of these reporting in all three rounds.
In collaboration with UNEP, Cap-Net UNDP, and ILEC, UNEP-DHI Centre is launching a new course on Sustainable Lake Management (SLM). This online, free and self-paced course offers five modules to improve the understanding of fundamental principles of SLM and to equip participants with tools to develop, implement and refine a participatory lake recovery plan that promotes the sustainable use of lake resources.
Rising temperatures are increasingly disrupting the global water cycle, exposing millions of people across the globe to reduced water security. A UNEP report promotes blending the practices of integrated water resources management (IWRM) and climate change adaptation to expedite progress in both fields and use financial resources efficiently.
