This publication is based on the preparatory work and conclusions of the training workshop entitled "How to prepare bankable projects to finance climate change adaptation in transboundary basins", which was held in Dakar, Senegal, from 21 to 23 June 2017 as part of the activities of the Global Network of Basins Working for Climate Change Adaptation led by INBO and UNECE.
The guide provides practical answers to questions raised by donors and climate change adaptation project leaders, for example on the different stages of project proposal and associated procedures (different according to donors), on eligibility criteria and how to designate a recipient of funds (the transboundary basin organisation or one of its Member States), on the additionality of funding or on the sustainability of expected results beyond the project life cycle.
Dear Madam, Dear Sir, Dear Friends,
For 24 years, you have regularly received the “INBO Newsletter”, more than 30,000 copies of which are disseminated in French, English, Spanish and Russian all over the world.
This newsletter is very successful and shows the mine of experience and information available in the 192 Member Organizations and observers of the International Network of Basin Organizations (INBO) from more than 88 countries and their mobilization to write interesting articles, which contribute to our joint project: “Integrated water resource management in river basins”.
It is requested by many institutions, interested in following up our actions.
Acknowledging this fact, we are launching the 27th issue of the “Network Newsletter”, which will focus on the proposals and practical experiments of the members of our Network and of their partners, as well as on the large priority topic of adaptation to the effects of climate change following the COP21 in Paris, the COP22 in Marrakech, the COP23 in Bonn, the International Summit on “Water and Climate” in Rome and the last World Water Forum which took place in March 2018 in Brasilia.
As for the previous one, this new “INBO Newsletter” will only come into being if all the Member Organizations and Observers directly contribute by writing the articles they wish to be published, and by complying with a few basic rules to facilitate its editing and translation.
The letter is also open to any organization which implements or supports integrated river basin management and adaptation to climate change over the world.
For this purpose, you will find in an appended note some recommendations to be taken into consideration when writing your articles.
Please be reminded that each article must be short and not exceed 2,500 characters (spaces included) or a typed page – Arial 11 and 9 on Word.
Kindly send your articles to the Permanent Technical Secretariat - IOWater in Paris - together with their translation (French, Spanish and English). These should ONLY be sent by e-mail at the address: riob@riob.org.
To illustrate your articles, colored contrasted photos, your logos, as well as maps or readable colored diagrams, would be welcomed, only in an electronic version (jpg format – high resolution – size bigger than 700 K).
In order to publish the newsletter during the first quarter of 2019, the 15 OCTOBER 2018 had to be set as the deadline for receiving your articles at the Secretariat.
I remain at your disposal for any further information: My E-mail: riob@riob.org
Please do your utmost to meet this deadline.
I am relying on your active contribution to this next “INBO Newsletter”. Meanwhile, I remain,
Yours faithfully.

The report’s full name is Global Warming of 1.5°C, an IPCC special report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways, in the context of strengthening the global response to the threat of climate change, sustainable development, and efforts to eradicate poverty
“With more than 6,000 scientific references cited and the dedicated contribution of thousands of expert and government reviewers worldwide, this important report testifies to the breadth and policy relevance of the IPCC,” said Hoesung Lee, Chair of the IPCC.
Ninety-one authors and review editors from 40 countries prepared the IPCC report in response to an invitation from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) when it adopted the Paris Agreement in 2015.
“One of the key messages that comes out very strongly from this report is that we are already seeing the consequences of 1°C of global warming through more extreme weather, rising sea levels and diminishing Arctic sea ice, among other changes,” said Panmao Zhai, Co-Chair of IPCC Working Group I.
The report highlights a number of climate change impacts that could be avoided by limiting global warming to 1.5ºC compared to 2ºC, or more. For instance, by 2100, global sea level rise would be 10 cm lower with global warming of 1.5°C compared with 2°C. The likelihood of an Arctic Ocean free of sea ice in summer would be once per century with global warming of 1.5°C, compared with at least once per decade with 2°C. Coral reefs would decline by 70-90 percent with global warming
of 1.5°C, whereas virtually all (> 99 percent) would be lost with 2ºC.
