The aim of EUROCLIMA is to improve the knowledge of decision makers and scientists from Latin America on the impact of climate change in the region to promote the integration of the topic in sustainable development strategies. The focal points of the programme in the 18 partner countries are essential to ensure synergies and promote the implementation of the results in decision-making. EuropeAid is responsible for managing EUROCLIMA, which is implemented by ECLAC (socio-economic), the JRC (biophysical) and the Technical Assistance.

This Newsletter puts special emphasis on Water Resources. Addressing the relationship between water and climate change demand a comprehensive view of not only the effects of one over the other, but also on the political action regarding the integrated management of water resources within a framework of equity and sustainable development.

The Newsletter presents information regarding the current status of water resources management in Latin America and other regions of the world, as well as projects promoted by regional and coperation organisations to integrate political processes planning in water management in relation to issues such as food security, watershed management, among others.
