We are helping countries plan for tomorrow’s climate.
The Water Resilience Tracker supports governments in creating inclusive, water-centric climate-resilient policies.
As the first consolidated effort to integrate water resilience into national climate planning, the WRT provides tailored policy and technical support. It is currently being implemented in several countries, including Brazil, Egypt, Malawi, and Nepal.
The Water Resilience Tracker team has participated in several UNFCCC COPs as well as Bonn Intersessionals, bringing the Tracker and its findings to an audience of countries and companies alike.

“Through the Water Resilience Tracker we are asking the difficult questions in order to seek real solutions. We are using water as a connector of public policies.”
Countries
-
The Tracker team is working closely with Brazil’s government to strengthen climate planning and build resilience. Phase 2 will include a regional rollout.
-
The Tracker has helped enable Costa Rica improve and align their different climate plans and develop bankable, water-resilient projects, and support our Paris commitments.
-
Egypt has progressively developed national plans for climate change adaptation and mitigation. While Egypt’s climate planning is cognisant of changes to the hydrological cycle, the Tracker has helped identify ways to build resilience.
-
The impacts of climate change on Malawi are worsening. Malawi's government is implementing several key actions to assist in climate change adaptation and mitigation.
Alok Sharma, COP26 President
“The very fact that water is so fundamental to life means responsibility is split between many different areas of individual governments. Policies can suffer from a lack of integration, and are harder to fund as a result. The Water Tracker seeks to tackle those problems.”
International Policy
Countries around the world are developing climate plans — including Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) — to meet commitments of the Paris Agreement and address climate impacts.
The Tracker is designed to be a practical instrument for aligning national efforts with global climate resilience objectives.
The Tracker has been presented at various international events, including Cairo Water Week and Africa Water Week and UNFCCC COPs.
