General conclusions

This document summarizes the valuable work done by the drafting group and acknowledges the gaps that still need to be addressed in the guidance structure. It emphasizes the need for transboundary cooperation and cross-sectoral collaboration, while also highlighting the significance of political commitments, agreed targets, and sound science. The importance of integrating the water and climate models is emphasized, as well as the consistent application of economic instruments. The text also discusses the challenges of funding and stresses the need for governments to fulfill their obligations. The guidance should be further developed to include a participatory approach and address health and financial aspects, among others. Overall, it concludes that the implementation process for adaptation measures is still in its early stages.

  1. General conclusions general agreement of the valuable work the drafting group has been done the structure of the guidance is appropriate there are still gaps need to be filled

  2. willingness to cooperate, political commitments at national and international level, agreed target, sound science, etc… • we have to put focus more on transboundary aspect • need to work cross sectorally and interministerially • the trialogue process should be applied the IWRM is an elementary pillow for the adaptation to climate change needs to be implemented as a first step • optimization the use of limited and valuable water resources to meet changing water demands

  3. the effect of mitigation is irrelevant to water managers because they have to adapt short-term • it should be more focus on non-structural measures water and climate models needs be linked • economic instruments need to be consistently applied in particular in the context of legal instruments • planning needs to take into account human behavior motivated by self interest • optimization the use of limited and valuable water resources to meet changing water demands

  4. Session 5 • Funding is a challenge, • We cannot expect much from international funds => governments obligations • Potential opportunities from upgrading existing systems

  5. Guidance should be further developed on: - participatory approach e.g.health aspects among others, etc. - financial issues need to implement case studies, in particular for the transboundary cooperation - solidarity in sharing risks and cost issues

  6. Important finding: • With regard to measures concerning adaptation to climate change we are still at the beginning of the implementation process
