A first timer's view of the UN Climate Change talks
Today was my 'first' for numerous circumstances. My first time in a climate change negotiations; my first day in the ongoing UNFCCC's Bonn Climate Change Talks; my first occasion of interaction with Karin Lexen and Karin Glaumann of Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI); and of course first day at Bonn in the open.
Exploring paths to push water in the entire climate change discourse
The second day for me at the UNFCCC's Bonn Climate Change Talks was a mixed bag of experiences. The day started with a quick morning meeting and ended with a summary meeting with Karin Lexen and Karin Glaumann of Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI). This arrangement seems to be working well because it not only helps in planning the day but also creates space for clarifying doubts and in strategizing plans and actions for the following day.

Reseña del documento "Agua y adaptación al cambio climático en las Américas"
“Por sí sólo, ningún recurso es más integral para la salud, el bienestar, y la prosperidad de las comunidades humanas que el agua. Cada vez es más reconocido que éste es el principal medio a través del cual el cambio climático impacta a las sociedades y el medio ambiente. Más que un sector, los recursos hídricos son el medio por el cual el cambio climático afecta la seguridad alimentaria, la salud, la generación energética, la planificación del desarrollo y la protección de los ecosistemas y de la biodiversidad. Al mismo tiempo, el agua es fundamental en la mitigación del cambio climático, debido a que muchos esfuerzos para reducir las emisiones de carbono dependen de la disponibilidad del recurso”.
