Nationally Determined Contribution and its identified adaptation need to intensify and increase early warning systems for intense rains and floods, and to implement structural and non-structural measures to face extreme events.
Nationally Determined Contribution to develop new integrated climate services and information systems, for continuous monitoring and risk mapping. Furthermore, by 2030, have developed new early warning systems and new hydrometeorological insurances, within the disaster risk reduction framework for the agricultural, coastal and health sectors, and for flood sensitive urban areas, infrastructure and other vulnerable regions.
The Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) organized sub-regional forum for the climate focal points and network members from Latin America in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The event was attended by the representatives of the UNFCCC, the Green Climate Fund, the Global Environment Facility, network members from Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay. During two days, participants discussed technology transfer, collaboration and opportunities in the region.
The analysis of natural coastal processes (meteorology, climatology, hydrodynamics and morphology) in relation to changes in human activities and land use/coverage, is a necessary input for the study of risk of coastal erosion.
CTCN, UNEP DTU Partnership and CATIE have launched a new publication ‘Good practice in Designing and Implementing National Monitoring Systems for Adaptation to Climate Change’ in Spanish: Buenas prácticas para el diseño e implementación de sistemas nacionales de monitoreo para la adaptación al cambio climático.
