John has been working at the intersection of water with climate adaptation and resilience since 2007. His work explores how we define, develop, and accelerate the uptake of our emerging set of best practices for climate resilience.

We will be sharing Ingrid for the next six months with #UAE, while her policy work in AGWA will be shadowed by the capable and entrepreneurial Josh Weinberg. More about him soon! Generating and sharing knowledge - Facilitating knowledge-sharing and understanding of issues related to AWM;Current work includes developing a new generation of resilience indicators, leading the development and implementation of a national climate planning tool, working with businesses to incorporate resilience within operations, heading a program to engage macroeconomic planners and central bankers to blend resilience with traditional economic evaluation approaches, and contributing to large-scale technical climate risk assessments.

Join us Tuesday 17 October at 12:00 CET for a webinar, on coastal resilience building. The webinar will showcase coastal adaptation projects to frame how future-oriented planning and risk reduction can support communities and economic resilience. It is also useful for line ministries, civil society, investment banks, aid agencies and other groups with a stake in evaluating the credibility and efficacy of national climate plans. Who is involved? For this Research Topic, we seek papers that describe deep resilience as an operational and/or policy framework, how deep resilience projects can be evaluated for financing and success, examples of managing with rather than against change and uncertainty, and how technical decision makers can transition from narrow problem definition to more integrative and coherent solutions. In AGWA, we have learned that water resilience provides an essential, informative compass for most adaptation and resilience strategies, policies, and actions, with some critical climate mitigation co-benefits. Water is widely recognized as both a major component of many climate-related disasters — the “teeth” of climate change. Building water resilience is an approach to water management, planning, and policy that can integrate many sectors, reduce sectoral, political, and institutional conflict, and clarify sequencing, priorities, and contingencies. AgWA uses the definition provided by the CAADP, that understands Agricultural Water Management (AWM) as the continuum from rainfall management through to irrigation for food production [ ...]She is the first person to ever hold this incredibly important position, interleaving the #climatechange and water communities around common themes and missions. AGWA is an international NGO working across technical and policy programs to mainstream resilient water resources management, focusing on the connections between water resources and climate adaptation and mitigation. AGWA works with and through its member network to develop and crowdsource solutions across disciplines, institutions, and sectors. Are you at Cairo Water Week? Join us tomorrow for an exciting workshop session, "Resilient water for a resilient future" to explore innovative adaptation action and to build momentum for water's role on the COP28 agenda.
