Twin2Go at SIWW - "Adapting to climate change - policy insights and best practices for adaptive water governance
The Twin2Go project and its partners cordially invite you to an interactive workshop titled “Adapting to climate change – policy insights and best practices for adaptive water governance” that will take place as a co-located event at the Singapore International Water Week on July 4. The workshop will discuss how a water governance system should be designed in order to be able to cope with complexity and uncertainty in the context of climate change.
The Twin2Go project has analysed water governance regimes in more than 25 river basins around the world. Together with regional experts and stakeholders, Twin2Go has reviewed best practices and lessons learnt for increasing the adaptiveness of water resources management. In this workshop, Dr. Louis Lebel, Chiang Mai University, Thailand, will present the project’s main outcomes and results.
In a panel discussion, policy and decision makers from South and South East Asia will share experiences on the subject followed by an interactive discussion on how approaches are transferable across different countries and basins, and how a transition towards more adaptive water governance can be included into existing policy processes. Speakers include:
• Sukontha Aekaraj (Director, Department of Water Resources, Thailand)
• Iswar Singh Thapa (Joint Secretary, Water and Energy Commission Secretariat, Nepal)
• Dao Trong Tu (Director, Centre of Sustainable Water Resources Development and Adaptation to Climate Change, Vietnam)
• Anup Kumar Mitra (Chairman, Technical Advisory Committee, Water Resources Department, Assam, India)
Date: Monday, 4 July 2011, 14:30 -17:00, Coffee/Tee will be served.
Place: Suntec Singapore International Convention & Exhibition Centre, Meeting Room 203, Level 2.
