Main challenges

Increase the capacity of the CEE region to adapt to climatic

variability by enhancing resilience to drought.

variability and change in precipitation

increased frequency of extreme weather events in the future

well developed meteorological and hydrological monitoring but not as a support for decision makers

limited sharing of information among countries

lack of political will to solve the problem – drought was not considered as a relevant issue


10 countries

40 organizations

Universities

Hydro-meteo services

Research institutes

Ministries & state agencies

River basins directorates

Drought Management Center for South East Europe

Partners

Budget:
