1 Guidance document on Water and Climate adaptation (TFWC/2007/3) Jos G. Timmerman Rijkswaterstaat Centre for Water Management

2 Task Force on Water and Climate Bonn, Germany, 22-23 November 2007 2 Climate-proofing Assessing the resilience of water management and water services to cope with climate change Challenges for water management Scenarios and forecasts – possible futures Uncertainties and how to deal with them Assessing risks Assessing cost-effectiveness of coping measures

3 Task Force on Water and Climate Bonn, Germany, 22-23 November 2007 3 Adaptive building Germany

4 Task Force on Water and Climate Bonn, Germany, 22-23 November 2007 4 Contents Methodologies for climate impact assessment of a basin Vulnerability assessment Coping measures development (options and cost effectiveness) Prevention measures Improving resistance/resilience Preparation to extreme events Response to extreme events Preparedness for recovery or aftercare

5 Task Force on Water and Climate Bonn, Germany, 22-23 November 2007 5 Contents Methodologies for climate impact assessment of a basin Vulnerability assessment Coping measures development (options and cost effectiveness) Prevention measures Improving resistance/resilience Preparation to extreme events Response to extreme events Preparedness for recovery or aftercare Link between climate models / scenarios and hydrological models Downscaling of models Overview of potential impacts

6 Task Force on Water and Climate Bonn, Germany, 22-23 November 2007 6 Contents Methodologies for climate impact assessment of a basin Vulnerability assessment Range from biophysical hazards to social impacts of hazards Information needs assessment: climate information needed on strategic (10-50 years), tactical (6-9 months) and operational scales (daily-weekly) Link between climate models / scenarios and hydrological models Downscaling of models Overview of potential impacts

7 Task Force on Water and Climate Bonn, Germany, 22-23 November 2007 7 Contents Coping measures development (options and cost effectiveness) Prevention measures Anticipatory Prevent or moderate effects of extreme events Forecasts Deal with immediate threats (e.g. early warning) Vulnerability assessment Range from biophysical hazards to social impacts of hazards Information needs assessment: climate information needed on strategic (10-50 years), tactical (6-9 months) and operational scales (daily-weekly)

8 Task Force on Water and Climate Bonn, Germany, 22-23 November 2007 8 Contents Coping measures development (options and cost effectiveness) Prevention measures Anticipatory Prevent or moderate effects of extreme events Forecasts Deal with immediate threats (e.g. early warning) Improving resistance/resilience Droughts: e.g. improve irrigation, desalinization, improved groundwater management strategy Floods: e.g. dam safety, restricted development in flood risk zones, land use planning

9 Task Force on Water and Climate Bonn, Germany, 22-23 November 2007 9 Contents Coping measures development (options and cost effectiveness) Prevention measures Improving resistance/resilience Droughts: e.g. improve irrigation, desalinization, improved groundwater management strategy Floods: e.g. dam safety, restricted development in flood risk zones, land use planning Preparation Prepare for effects: e.g. awareness raising, legislation, institutional arrangements

10 Task Force on Water and Climate Bonn, Germany, 22-23 November 2007 10 Contents Coping measures development (options and cost effectiveness) Prevention measures Improving resistance/resilience Preparation Prepare for effects: e.g. awareness raising, legislation, institutional arrangements Response to extreme events Hazard management: e.g. evacuation measures, emergency medical care, safe drinking water distribution

11 Task Force on Water and Climate Bonn, Germany, 22-23 November 2007 11 Contents Coping measures development (options and cost effectiveness) Prevention measures Improving resistance/resilience Preparation Response to extreme events Hazard management: e.g. evacuation measures, emergency medical care, safe drinking water distribution Preparedness for recovery or aftercare Rehabilitation options: e.g. reconstruction of infrastructure, insurance, policies

12 Task Force on Water and Climate Bonn, Germany, 22-23 November 2007 12 Analysis framework Type of decision ClimateWeather Long Term (10-50 yrs) Medium Term (6-9 months) Short Term (0-10days) Decadal changesSeasonal Forecasts Real Time Strategic - Infrastructure planning - Regulations - Land use planning Tactical - Water allocations to agriculture - dam operations Operational - dam operations - flood warning

13 Task Force on Water and Climate Bonn, Germany, 22-23 November 2007 13 Relevant activities and background documentation Conclusions from the International Symposium “Time To Adapt. Climate Change and the European Water Dimension” EU Green paper EEA report on climate change and water adaptation issues UNECE Guidelines on Sustainable Flood Prevention and Model provisions on transboundary flood management Reporting and national adaptation plans under the UNFCCC Outcomes of The Third International Conference on Climate and Water; September 2007, Helsinki, Finland Work done by EXCIFF and EXCIMAP Towards a climate-proof Netherlands, Summary Route planner Any available studies on impact of climate change in EECCA and SEE countries

14 Task Force on Water and Climate Bonn, Germany, 22-23 November 2007 14 Items for discussion Is the proposed content complete? Additional issues? Irrelevant issues? Possible examples? Editorial team? ….
