Closing the Last Mile: People-centric Flood & Drought Early-Warning-Systems

Organizers: IDMP and APFM (WMO/GWP)

Content:“Early warnings and action save lives,” UN Secretary-General António Guterres said in 2022 and announced that the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) would “spearhead new action to ensure every person on Earth is protected by early warning systems within five years.” The joint WMO and Global Water Partnership (GWP) programs on flood (APFM)and drought (IDMP) management are part of the new action on Early Warning Systems (EWS) with a specific focus on making sure that the technical systems are integrated into a overall disaster policy of country and regions as well as that warnings actually turn into action when flood and droughts are happening.

Date and time: Thursday 25 August, 10:00-11:20 (CEST)

Online session

Water and Climate: act, learn, scale up

Organizers: GWP, Water and Climate Coalition, WMO, APFM, IDMP

Content: The session will present successful stories
of managing water and climate extremes at different levels, and in a
participatory way will dissect those to reach three main objectives: reflect on the ingredients of success, identify the main challenges and provide guidance, and determine the potential for scalability.

Date and time: Sunday, 28 August, 9h00-10h30 CEST

On-site session Room: 300 (Folkets Hus)

Enabling Nature-based Solutions in drought contexts: Towards increasing evidence

Organizers: Deltares, IUCN, IDMP

Content: This session is an urgent call for action to better advocate the potential of NbS for droughts and get them ready for upscaled implementation. It will discuss the enabling conditions for creating, implementing and upscaling NbS for drought impact mitigation.

Date and time: Sunday 28 August, 11:00-12:30 (CEST)

On-site session Room: 307 (Folkets Hus)

Content: Despite substantial success in establishing National Drought Policies, drought impacts continue to increase around the globe. This session will review progress since the High-level Meeting on National Drought Policy (HMNDP) held in 2013 and discuss o the way forward to scaling up and accelerating implementation of Integrated Drought Management.

Date and time: Wednesday 31 August, 11h00-12h30 CEST
