Round Table on Building Climate Resilience in the Hydropower Sector through Early Warning Systems
Concept note of the Round Table on Building Climate Resilience in the Hydropower Sector through Early Warning Systems at the International Conference on Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (ICDRI) 2024.
This round table session focusing on the impacts of climate change on hydropower sector, has been planned to facilitate assessment on current status on this critical topic and generate a series of knowledge products to potentially inform policies and practices on the existing gaps/needs. The offering is part of the Community of Practice (CoP) on Resilient Infrastructure for Energy Transition through its focus on Early Warning Systems (EWS) for Building Climate Resilience in the Hydropower Sector. The aim of the community is to promote medium to long-term climate change adaptation and strengthen the resilience of hydropower in flood-prone or drought-prone regions through robust EWS mechanisms.
