Workshop on Water,
Wetlands and Climate Change. 10-11 December
2002, Athens
The
roundtable is specifically addressed at:
Focal
points of the Convention on Climate Change, where adaptation
strategies have been agreed as one key measure, and of the Ramsar
Convention on Wetlands,
Multi-disciplinary
experts working on flood and drought management in the water
resources sector (vulnerability and risk management),
Government
departments managing the institutional response to climate change,
Managers
of water resource infrastructure (notably dams).
The
meeting will focus less on the emission mitigation and impact
aspects of the climate changes in different countries
(as this has been broadly laid out under the IPCC) and more on
the nature of the national adaptation responses to climate change..
It will also address cross-cutting issues relevant to the Ramsar
Convention on Wetlands.
More
specifically the roundtable is intended to support work toward
developing country-specific climate adaptation plans which is
one of the obligations under the UNFCCC. This roundtable is
intended to exchange the experience gained so far in Mediterranean
countries and to suggest future short and medium term actions
that may benefit the countries of the region.
