As part of the LIFE Eau&Climat project's ‘Strengthening knowledge transfer and exchanges between researchers and managers’ action, the International Office for Water has produced a compendium of projects on the theme of ‘water and climate change’. A first version was published in 2021, and the final version is now available with the addition of new projects.
Giving those involved in water management access to the results of research into climate change and its impact on the water sector will provide them with food for thought and help them in their decision-making. Alongside the research aspect, the sharing of experience from more operational projects provides a complementary approach.
The collection of projects on the theme of ‘water and climate change’ therefore contains a compilation of projects, whether they are research projects, operational projects or a combination of the two. Its aim is to provide an overview of existing projects in France, as well as in Europe and internationally. It is aimed at those involved in local water management, and more particularly those involved in SAGEs (water development and management schemes).
A first version of the compendium was published in 2021. It included 25 project sheets summarising the main characteristics of the projects, their context, objectives, actions and results, as well as a list of 25 additional projects in the appendix. In the final version, 11 of these sheets have been updated, 5 have been created and 6 projects have been added to the additional list in the appendix.
To help you easily identify the projects most likely to interest you, several tables are provided with different classifications: the angle from which climate change is taken into account, the themes and the types of action. The project sheets can be accessed directly from each table, by clicking on the name of the project.
