  2. Content • Introduction • Challenges in the water sector, related to climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction and sustainable development • CATALYST project • Think Tank Approach • Results and outcomes • Lessonslearned • Whatnext?

  3. Purpose of 5th Symposium Challenges in climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction and sustainable development • Flooding and flood management • Drought • Earthquakes • Lot of knowledge available • Need for the right format • Need for capacity development

  4. Purpose of 5th Symposium Need for capacity development In different stages in the capacity cycle: - Preparedness - Response - Recovery - ‘Mitigation’

  5. Purpose of 5th Symposium CATALYST project

  6. Purpose of 5th Symposium Title Think Tank: 75 members Worldwide Activities in 4 regions

  7. Purpose of 5th Symposium Results and outcomes • TT processsuitable to identify and upscale best practices • TT quicklyoperational (hardware); processdifficult (software) – to have the face to face meeting firstwould have been good • TT goodfor creatingcommonunderstanding DRR/CCA • Implementing activities in parallel / different emphasis – interlinked • Need to developcapacity at local level
