Enhancing water security in developing countries by providing water management tools and strengthening human resource capacity.
In an era where climate change poses unprecedented challenges, developing countries face mounting pressures on their water resources. The impacts manifest through disrupted water cycles and increasingly severe weather events, with water-related disasters accounting for 70% of all natural disaster deaths over the past five decades. This crisis particularly affects vulnerable communities in Africa and Asia, regions expected to represent half of the global population by 2100.
UNESCO's project ''Sustainable water security in developing countries through climate change adaptation'' emerges as a crucial initiative to address these challenges. The project aims to enhance water security in developing nations by providing robust water management tools and strengthening human resource capacity. Through innovative approaches like Climate Risk Informed Decision Analysis (CRIDA) and Early Warning Systems (EWS), the project supports countries in developing climate-resilient water management strategies.
