From DeltaDialogues to DeltaPlan to DeltaPartnerships
02-12-2011
How can we make cities and countries less vulnerable to global climate change? This is a pressing question, especially in densely populated delta areas.
There are enough policies, plans and ambitions. But many countries are struggling to finance and implement measures. Indeed, as the OECD recently states: the global water crisis is a crisis of water governance. There is no one single solution for this crisis. Creating a sense of urgency and political commitment, developing a process to involve all stakeholders to create a long-term vision and strategy as well as identifying ways for financing and implementing solutions need to be based and build on the unique existing socio-economic and institutional setting of a city and country. Royal Haskoning invites scientists, decision makers and practioners to join our search for ingredients, steps, actions and measures to develop a "delta process." A process that - we believe - starts with delta dialogue, works towards a delta plan and creates the delta partnerships that will actually finance and implement measures.
