Climate Information & Early Warning Systems to Inform Climate-Resilient Infrastructure Investments in Southern Africa
The event will introduce the Climate Resilient Systems for the SADC Water Sector that will build the resilience of the entire SADC region by facilitating a paradigm shift towards investments in scarce water resources informed by high-quality climate information and early warning systems (CIEWS) and using innovative financing approaches for climate resilience. This programme is aligned with the AIP and aims to advance the implementation of the AIP within the SADC region. More information.
