INDICATORS AND INDEXES OF ADAPTATION PROJECT WATER RESOURCES 21Ago2017

PROJETO INDICADORES AMC - RECURSOS HÍDRICOS BACKGROUND Program comprised of 7 projects concerning climate change adaptation. One of these Projects concerns “ Establishing Criteria and Indexes of Adaptation in the field of Water Resources Management,” approved in 2016 as one of the key Projects within this Working Group. The Project in now under development in Rio Grande do Sul´s Secretariat with the support from the Academia and the Brazilian National Water Agency (ANA). Set common goals for adaptation Promote multi-institutional cooperation Working on a Final Initiative Report PROJETO INDICADORES AMC - RECURSOS HÍDRICOS

PROJECT INDICATORS AND INDEXES OF ADAPTATION- WATER RESOURCES OBJECTIVES Propose a replicable list of adaptation indicators regarding water resources Propose a metric system to measure adaptation Set common goals for adaptation Promote multi-institutional cooperation PROJECT INDICATORS AND INDEXES OF ADAPTATION- WATER RESOURCES

PROJECT INDICATORS AND INDEXES OF ADAPTATION- WATER RESOURCES Scope Create an evaluation system of indicators to measure and monitor adaptation at a regional government scale. PROJECT INDICATORS AND INDEXES OF ADAPTATION- WATER RESOURCES

PROJECT INDICATORS AND INDEXES OF ADAPTATION- WATER RESOURCES Summary Six dimensions: Policy, Infrastructure, Technical Training, Financial Resources, Impacts and Institutional Arrangement. Clipped by either territory units or watershed. Educational aspect: to incite the development of a culture of climate change adaptation. “Metrics” column: to assess the reality against the adaptation measures being adopted. PROJECT INDICATORS AND INDEXES OF ADAPTATION- WATER RESOURCES

INDICATORS AND INDEXES OF ADAPTATION PROJECT - WATER RESOURCES Summary of feedbacks received The indicators list should reflect adaptation actions. Impacts are crucial, the indicators should be better developed. Include mapping of vulnerable areas. Eliminate duplicity of indicators. Evaluate: will the policies reflect effective actions? Think about a smaller but more effective list Some of the indicators are not replicable INDICATORS AND INDEXES OF ADAPTATION PROJECT - WATER RESOURCES
