  1. WATER AND ADAPTATION Principles, Positions and Mexico´sExperience WaterDay; Bonn, June 2, 2010

  2. PRINCIPLES • Historical responsibility • Polluters pays principle • Common but differentiatedresponsibilities and respective capabilities • Precautionary principle

  3. PROPOSALS • International Insurance Mechanism to deal with water related disasters induced from climate change (floods and droughts). • International Mechanism to compensate the loss and damage from climate change impacts (land and water source). • Ecosystem Based Adaptation toenhancetheadaptative and resiliencecapacity of vulnerable communities and ecosystemsfromclimatechange.

  4. PROPOSALS • 3. Ecosystem Based Adaptation toenhancetheadaptative and resiliencecapacity of vulnerable communities and ecosystemsfromclimatechange. • Healthy, bio-diverse environments role in increasing • resilience • Adaptation as an institutional • Water as a “unit” not as a “sector”

  5. EXPERIENCEMéxico; New water management models

  6. IRBM Strategy

  7. LESSONS • Integrated water resource management (IWRM) is a social and technical accepted process, with current important achievements and goals, and with key challenges ahead. • The shortest way society can take to build resilience is to strength and improve IWRM, rather than promote an adaptation process by itself. • IWRM must focus all their capabilities to ensure, under different scenarios, a sustainable water extraction, in which ecosystems are recognized as the water provider, rather than a water user.

  8. FORWARD LOOKING • CONAGUA…. • National E-flow Standard • Regional Dialogue
