Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and EnvironmentCanada (EC) today announced 12 new projects to help Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean address threats to water resources resulting from a changing climate.
The Adaptation Research Initiative in Asia (ARI-Asia) and the Adaptation Research Initiative in Latin America and the Caribbean (ARI-Americas) are two three-year initiatives of $10 million each which aim to build a strong base of evidence on adaptation options to safeguard water resources and to inform decision-makers about the most effective use and targeting of climate change funding.
“With our fast-start financing, we are supporting important and innovative initiatives, such as the ones that are being carried out by ARI-Americas and ARI-Asia through the International Development Research Centre,” said Canada’s Environment Minister Peter Kent. “These efforts will help developing countries be better equipped to deal with climate change, and we are very proud of the work we are doing in this area.”
