The crucial role of water ecosystems -and especially coastal wetlands- in Middle East & North Africa (MENA) and the policy options on how to best protect and valorize them through a Nexus approach were discussed at a session co-convened by the Global Water Partnership – Mediterranean (GWP-Med) and Wetlands International during the recent World Water Week in Stockholm (27-31 August 2018).
El Fondo Verde para el Clima (FVC) fue establecido en 2012 como un mecanismo financiero de la Convención Marco de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Cambio Climático (CMNUCC) dedicado al abordaje de la crisis climática. El FVC tiene el mandato específico de promover un desarrollo impulsado por el país, resiliente al clima y bajo en carbono. Se espera que este se convierta en un canal principal a través del cual fluirá la financiación pública internacional relativa al clima a lo largo del tiempo.
