Details of the Working Group
Resilient Water Futures - Methods, Tools, and Practices for Climate Adaptation: Lead by Aristeidis Koutroulis & Elisa Saveli
The Working Group will develop resources and frameworks to enable stakeholders to make informed decisions and build a more climate resilient and equitable water future. Activities will focus on creating interdisciplinary spaces, frameworks, tools, and research products that support climate adaptation to water-related risks and extremes. Specifically, group members will identify, categorize, and critically examine existing climate adaptation methods, tools and practices. Additionally, the working group will use relevant case studies from both the Mediterranean and other areas to identify lesson learned and effective adaptation and maladaptation practices. Lastly, the group will foster knowledge exchange among practitioners, researchers, and policymakers across the world. Our contributions will include:
- Mapping the landscape of climate adaptation methods, tools, and practices, critically assessing their access, effectiveness, usability, and adaptability across different users, regions and climates.
- Synthesizing insights from case studies to build a repository of best practices and lessons learned that enhance local resilience.
- Providing stakeholders with information on available resources for climate adaptation.
- Building a collaborative network that connects diverse stakeholders, enabling the continuous co-creation of climate adaptation and water resilience resources.
- Facilitating interdisciplinary knowledge exchange to support practitioners, policymakers, and researchers in implementing sustainable and equitable water resilience strategies.
