APWF Info:
The Framework Document on Water and Climate Change Adaptation is available now!
The Asia-Pacific Water Forum has now published the "Framework Document on Water and Climate Change Adaptation For Leaders and Policy-makers in the Asia-Pacific Region" which was prepared by the APWF Steering Group on Water and Climate Change.
APWF Water News 208
The Deadline for the Call for Abstracts for the 5th Delft Symposium on Water Sector Capacity Development has been extended to 4 January 2013!
Climate change, rising demands for water and increasing pollution of sources may lead to ever more insecure water resources, threatening sustainable economic development. These trends are aggravated by poor water resources management due to weak human, organisational and/or institutional capacity to address these threatening challenges.
Please find detailed information about the Call for Abstracts and the themes of the Symposium in the attached information sheet, or via
