27th COP has launched Water Adaptation and Resilience Action Plan, formerly known as Action on Water Adaptation or Resilience (AWARe).
It was with an Africa-first focus, giving hope to drought-ravaged populations, especially in the Horn of Africa.
It is the result of collaboration between the African Union (AU), Water and Climate Coalition Leaders, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the African Ministers’ Council on Water (AMCOW), among others.
It has global water information services like accurate hydrological data to help understand the scarcity and availability of water per region; water and climate stock take and a cryosphere information mechanism.
