ESCWA water development report 7: Climate change and disaster risk reduction in the Arab region
This seventh issue of the ESCWA Water Development Report focuses on climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk reduction (DRR) within the context of the water sector in the Arab region. It examines the aforementioned global processes, from a regional perspective, as well as associated regional strategies and action plans related to CCA, DRR and water security, taking into consideration the water-scarce conditions that dominate the region.
It aims to present the challenges and opportunities of bringing the CCA and DRR communities together. It examines the differences and similarities between the methodologies and approaches used by each community, as well as their means of implementation, with the aim of pursuing synergy and coherence between them, within the context of achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in the water-scarce Arab region.
