The Strategic International Knowledge and Innovation Agenda on Water and Climate Adaptation

For the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, we are developing the first concept of a Strategic International Knowledge and Innovation Agenda (SIKIA) on Water and Climate Adaptation.

We develop this under the lead of among others, Special Envoy for Water Affairs Henk Ovink. The agenda should ensure that knowledge and policy on water and climate adaptation is better connected, to enable a better contribution and implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals.

We work on this by (1) mapping and structuring the knowledge questions under themes, countries and cooperation forms and (2) developing and recommending an appropriate and sustainable knowledge infrastructure for the oncoming years to work on the SIKIA until 2030.
