INTRODUCTION

This year UWEWK2023 will explore:

• The linkage between climate resilience and economic growth amidst emerging challenges in the management and development of water and environment resources, and the need for a systematic review of linkages, policy options, and knowledge gaps.

• The balance between pre-disaster and post-disaster investment needs to be examined more explicitly
• Innovative financing to improve access to capital for medium and long-term investments in Water and Environment developments with the implementation of measures to support climate resilience infrastructure.
• A better understanding of which tools work well for vulnerable populations and  recognizing that different tools might be needed to respond to different needs

The UWEWK 2023 is intrinsically linked to: NPDIII, SDGs Vision 2040 and looks at integrating climate resilience into growth and development policies, requiring a concerted, long-term approach and an explicit inclusion into national planning and budgeting processes.  It further focuses on a community-based adaptation approach that is closely associated with rural and other vulnerable people striving to improve their livelihood against the imminent and long-term threat of climate change.  It involves among others community-led interventions which are indigenous and nature-built with the knowledge and strength within the community and its resources in coordination with sustainable management and development of water and environment resources.
