This downscaling supports planning for Resili ent Nature Based Water Solutions demonstration projects. It will be held o n 7 October 14:00-16:00 Cairo time\, UTC+3.\n\nThe webinar aims to make th e technical findings of the climate baseline assessments and high-resoluti on projections for small basins in Egypt\, Jordan\, Lebanon\, and Occupied Palestinian Territories accessible to a broader audience\, while demonstr ating how these results are informing Al Murunah project interventions. IW MI and Al Murunah project partners will explore the information and provid e insights on how it can be applied to wider climate resilience initiative s.\n\nObjectives\n\n Communicate key results: Present downscaling results in an accessible manner\, supplemented by a blog to accompany the technic al report.\n Application in Al Murunah and beyond: Showcase how downscali ng results are being used in the technical design of pilots and other inte rventions within Al Murunah\, and more widely.\n Foster stakeholder engag ement: Facilitate a discussion on how stakeholders can utilize the downsca ling results in broader climate adaptation efforts.\n\nWebinar Modality\n\ n Al Murunah project overview: Dr.Vidhisha Samarasekara\n Downscaling ov erview: Dr. Karim Bergaoui will present the climate change baseline and do wnscaling process\, and key outputs and findings.\n Country implementatio n insights: Each country implementation partner will provide a brief prese ntation on how the downscaled projections are influencing on-ground activi ties and designs.\n Q&\;A and interactive sessions: Following the pres entations\, we will hold a live Q&\;A session and include interactive c omponents to engage participants and gather feedback.\n\nAgenda\n\n Openi ng Remarks – Introduction to the session and objectives (5 minutes)\n A l Murunah project overview - Introduction to Al Murunah project (7 minutes )\n Karim’s Presentation – Climate downscaling analysis and results ( 30 minutes)\n Country Partner Presentations – Application of projection s in country-specific interventions (5 minutes per country)\n Interactive Q&\;A and Discussions – Stakeholder feedback and interactive compone nt (30 minutes)\n Closing Remarks – Summary of key takeaways (5 minutes )\n\nTarget Audience\n\nThe webinar is aimed at Al Murunah project stakeho lders\, development professionals\, applied researchers in the climate\, w ater\, and food nexus\, as well as representatives from donors and potenti al scaling partners.\n\n \;\n\n[su_button url="https://bit.ly/3TBIqnu" size="7"]Register[/su_button] END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
