CPWC movies

 

Over the years, the Co-operative Programme on Water and Climate (CPWC) has produced three movie films. They are now all available online.

 

Connecting_delta-cities.small.100Connecting Delta Cities (42 min)

This film explores the impacts of global warming on coastal cities. As the ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland melt, sea levels rise. This poses significant challenges and requires action on the part of coastal cities like Jakarta, Rotterdam, New York and Alexandria. In this film scientists and policy makers of each city share their view on current problems and explain future plans. The film shows that all coastal cities face similar problems – problems that can be tackled more efficiently through an exchange of knowledge and intensive cooperation. (2009)

Water availability and water quality are of vital importance for future development. This short movie shows the Kitui sand dams project in Kenya, where with strong community participation, adaptation to climate change can be successful and can even provide an increase to regional economic growth. (2006)
