Regional Knowledge Network on Water

R-KNOW Knowledge Database is operated by means of mobilising and developing the stakeholders qualified in their field in each pilot country. This is the duty of each national facilitator. R-KNOW KD brings:

  • Lessons learned of successful demo projects applying systemic approaches to water management
  • Knowledge, insights and awareness on systemic approaches to sustainable water resource management
  • Guiding papers on systemic approaches that could be applied to Natural Resources Management

SEARCH project Policy Brief

Climate change

Description

It is the purpose of this policy brief to stress the importance of resilience in climate change policies and to outline policy recommendations that aim at incorporation of community based resilience building into national, regional and local level climate change, development and natural resource management policies. In recognizing that climate change is just one among many factors that can cause lack of resilience, fieldwork demonstrations have provided practical tools for using this theoretical concept to integrate climate change adaptation not only in national strategies but also in the strategies and plans at local and watershed levels. The concept of resilience is made more concrete through watershed level application and by addressing the different components that shape it. About SEARCH: Social, Ecological & Agricultural Resilience in the Face of Climate Change" was a three year EU funded (2011 - 2013) regional project led by the IUCN – Regional Office for West Asia and implemented in partnership with ten organizations (CEDARE, PHG, AWO, CEOSS, UAWC, BDRC, SPNL, MADA Association, Abdelmalik Essadi University) from the five countries of Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon, Egypt and Morocco, and supported by the IUCN Global Water Program in Switzerland and the Centre for Development Innovation (CDI) - Wageningen in the Netherlands.
