Water and Climate Coalition (formerly GPPN)

The Water and Climate Coalition was previously known as the Global Public Policy Network on Water Management. Under that name they co-ordinated the following activities in consultation and collaboration with several governmental and non-governmental actors, including the GWA:

• Conducting a global multi-stakeholder consultation on water and climate change adaptation, resulting in a publication outlining major priorities, Water and Climate Change: Key Messages for COP15

• Facilitating side events and workshops alongside the negotiations on ‘Bridging the Water and Climate Agendas’
• Drafting text amendments on water and adaptation in response to each revision of the negotiating text for the Ad Hoc Working Group on Longterm Co-operative Action under the Convention (AWG LCA)
• Co-ordinating and Chairing an informal government group, ‘Friends of Water’ to discuss water issues informally as they relate to the negotiations
• Convening  ‘Water Day’ during the UNFCCC negotiations in Barcelona in November 2009 together with UN Water
• Writing a report for COP15 based on some of the issues raised at aforementioned Water Day, entitled ‘Water World: Why the global climate challenge is a global water challenge’.
