Nationally Determined Contribution to improve the decision-making on the use and management of water resources as a result of two key methodological tools: i) methodology for determining environmental flows; and ii) methodology for formulating plans for the use and management of water resources via drainage basins
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.

As a landlocked country whose economy is predominantly based on agriculture, Paraguay is highly vulnerable to climate change impacts. Adaptation is an essential part of reducing these negative impacts. However, due to the lack of information and strategies to enhance resilience against climate risk, this country has faced environmental, social, health and economic problems.
A UNIDO delegation comprising director Mr. Pradeep Monga and project managers from the Department of Energy met with city leaders from around the world in Singapore for the launch of the ‘Global Platform for Sustainable Cities’, or GPSC, which is part of an initiative funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) that is expected to mobilize up to $1.5 billion over the next five years for urban sustainability programs in 11 developing countries, including Brazil, Cote D’Ivoire, China, India, Malaysia, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Senegal, South Africa, and Vietnam.

The objective of this book is to raise awareness in the hydrologic community of the important changes that have occurred in the climate and hydrology of the La Plata basin during recent decades. In a context of global climate change and of great regional changes, the assumption that series of climatological and hydrological observations are stationary must be regarded with suspicion. This book therefore presents an overview of the few available techniques for assessing future climate and hydrology.
