limate change is felt acutely through water – from more frequent and severe floods and droughts to saltwater intrusion into freshwater supplies. This puts water adaptation at the heart of a robust global response to climate change.
The Global Center on Adaptation (GCA) is participating in the UN 2023 Water Conference taking place in New York from 22nd to 24th March 2023 to accelerate implementation and create a global momentum that positively impacts and addresses the challenges associated with water.

Water Adaptation Advocacy Platform
The Water Adaptation Advocacy Platform presents a series of informative multimedia briefs drawn from Water Adaptation Community meetings, webinars and dialogues which offer policy and implementation recommendations to educate, mobilize and inspire engagement in the lead up to and during the UN 2023 Water Conference. It also provides an informative resource for progressing the outcomes of the conference.
The thematic briefs developed by the Water Adaptation Community offer key policy recommendations and insights to accelerate water adaptation and support the development of the Water Action Agenda. It is intended for individuals of all knowledge and expertise levels who wish to deepen their knowledge on the importance of water adaptation and how it can be utilized and applied as a solution to tackling the climate crisis.
Positioning Water-Climate Adaptation for UN Water Action Agenda Commitments
Presented by the Water Adaptation Community, this webinar was designed to inform and support those engaging with the UN 2023 Water Conference in person or online on:
- what is needed, in practice, for getting from plan to implementation of adaptive water projects
- drawing connections on how such projects support the progress and security of many other SDGs as a case for accelerating adaptation uptake across the water sector
