FutureWater was proud to contribute to the Local Climate Response training programme hosted by The Hague Academy for Local Governance, where professionals from Iraq, Libya, Morocco, Belize, the Philippines, Germany, Pakistan, and Mozambique gathered for two weeks of intensive learning and exchange.
The training addressed key challenges faced by local governments and communities in responding to the growing impacts of climate change. Participants explored a range of urgent questions, including:
-
How can local authorities strengthen resilience to climate risks?
-
In what ways can communities drive adaptation, particularly in vulnerable settings?
-
What does just and inclusive climate governance look like at the local level?
As part of the programme, FutureWater delivered a lecture and practical session on Climate Risk Assessments, equipping participants with knowledge and tools to integrate risk-informed approaches into their local planning processes. The session focused on translating climate data into actionable insights, using risk mapping and water resources modeling, and exploring practical examples from various regions, like Georgia and Uzbekistan.
We thank The Hague Academy for the opportunity to support this important initiative and extend our appreciation to all participants for their active engagement and shared commitment to strengthening local climate resilience.
