=================================================
1- The UfM secretariat together with the European Commission and Jordan, co-President of the Union for the Mediterranean organised the 5th meeting of the Water Expert Group on 23 and 24 November in Luxembourg. This date and location has been selected to allow the participation and exchanges with EU member states water directors that met the following days for their regular bi-annual meetings. The Euromed water directors reaffirmed the need of joining efforts to address the challenges and the need for cooperation in the region. They agree to elaborate a roadmap with objectives, actions and associated work plan that will be reviewed every 2 or 3 years. This roadmap will be prepared in 2016 for a potential approval mid 2017 during the Maltese Presidency of the EU. This gathering was also organised back to back with a meeting of the SWIM Steering Committee (25 November) that reviewed the last results of the support mechanism and demonstration projects, before the launch of a new phase in 2016. One week later on 1-2 December, H2020 (Depolluting the Mediterranean Sea) Steering Group members met in Brussels, where new developments for 2016 have also been announced, including a new phase of SEIS (Shared Environment Information System) initiative in the Mediterranean area. In 2016, both initiatives, SWIM and H2020 will have joint management, in particular thanks to a common support mechanism that will be led by LDK consultancy and bringing together 13 partners (selected by the European Commission after a procurement process).

IN BRIEF (Full news)
=================================================
2- Over three hundred organisations from 87 countries have already signed the Paris pact on water and climate adaptation in the basin of rivers, lakes and aquifers. The pact was launched on the opening day of the climate summit COP21 on 1 December in Paris, France. Mr. Jean-François DONZIER, Secretary General of the International Network of Basin Organizations (INBO), presented the Pact and reminded that climate change is already affecting and will increasingly affect the quantity and quality of freshwater and aquatic ecosystems, especially through the intensity and greater frequency of extreme hydrological events, such as floods and droughts. This « Paris Pact » includes two components: part one is describing the context and providing general principles for adaptation to climate change in basins, and part two is listing the commitments to be made by the signatories to organize adaptation to climate change and take appropriate measures. The round table organized during the "Water and Adaptation" Day allowed presenting real examples of adaptation projects in different basins in China (Hai River Basin), India (aquifer management), Mexico (Mexico Valley), South America (ECOCUENCAS project), the Senegal River (OMVS), the Niger River (NBA), the Congo River and its tributaries (CICOS) and Morocco (ABH) and the platform of pilot basins to test adaptation measures, led by UNECE and INBO.

3- ON 17th November 2015, two weeks before the United Nations Climate Change Conference COP 21 in Paris, ministers in charge of maritime affairs from the 43 countries of the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) have committed to closer cooperation on blue economy and maritime governance . The launch of this new Blue Economy initiative falls within the framework of the global UfM sustainable development strategy, which entails activities in the fields of energy, climate change, urban development and water and environment. Gathered in Brussels on the occasion of the first UfM Ministerial Conference on Blue Economy, participants stressed the need for the Mediterranean region to make the best use of the potential of the blue economy to promote growth, jobs and investments and reduce poverty. They noted that clean and healthy seas are drivers and enablers for national and regional economies and advocated building a clear vision for the sustainable and integrated development of marine and maritime sectors at national and sea basin levels.

4- Satellite data, such as that provided by the European Space Agency (ESA), is a key component of environmental knowledge. The broader view satellite measurements offer of a particular subject at a particular time have improved environmental monitoring, leading to more evidence based policy and, ultimately, better environmental management. A new EEA/ESA Memorandum of Understanding sets objectives for the exchange of scientific expertise and technical information between the agencies, providing the basis for mutual access to data and the promotion of joint activities. Further information on EMWIS website
5- As part of its work on the Mediterranean Wetlands Observatory (MWO), Tour du Valat initiated a feasibility study to apply the water footprint network indicators to the Mediterranean region. The results of this study were presented during a meeting at Tour du Valat on 17 December 2015. The meeting brought together MedWet, Tour du Valat Plan Bleu, WFP network, EMWIS, and Mediterranean Wetlands Observatory. One of the interests of these indicators is that the Med area can be compared to other region as the WFP indicators have a global coverage with high spatial (1km grid) and temporal (monthly) resolutions. WFP indicators are very useful for communication and awareness rising. Indicators were prepared covering all the Med area with available global data sets (1996-2005): blue water scarcity index for the human pressure on water quantity, grey water footprint and water pollution levels for the human pressure on water quality and a total water footprint as an aggregated indicator. For the 2nd phase, it was suggested to update the overall Mediterranean status (maps and indicators) with more recent data and then to focus on pilot cases for highlighting the benefits of wetlands for river basin planning taking into account climate and socio-economic changes. The MWO aims to monitor and evaluate the state and trends of wetlands in the Mediterranean and to develop the knowledge on their multiple values. Further information on EMWIS website
6- A delegation from the SWOS project (Satellite Wetland Observation Service) team took part into the workshop co-organised by the Secretariat of the Ramsar Convention and the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) on monitoring the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in November 2015. Sustainable Development Goal 6 on Clean Water and Sanitation, aims to “Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all”. Within Goal 6 Target 6 states: “By 2020, protect and restore water-related ecosystems including mountains, forests, wetlands, rivers, aquifers and lakes”. At this workshop different initiatives were brought together to start a process to define a remote sensing based solution to measure countries’ progress. SWOS provides for a standardised approach to wetland inventory and monitoring that could facilitate UN member states’ reporting on SDG Target 6.6. SWOS results may also feed into Wetland Extent Trend Index recently published by UNEP-WCMC, one of the SWOS partners, to enable reporting on a country and/or wetland type level. Further information on SWOS website.
7- The SIRHYUS project was financed in 2011 following a call for projects financed by French institutions. It aims at developing operational services dedicated to water resources management at river basin level in France and world wide, using exiting and future satellite data combined with insitu monitoring data. It brings together scientific public bodies (IRSTEA, CNRS/CESBIO, CNES), innovative SMEs (ACRI-ST and G2C) and large industrial groups (EDF, VEOLIA). Its results were presented in Paris on 16 December 2015 at CNES premises. It allowed a technology transfer from research institutes to SMEs in order to develop industrial products and services in 3 areas: quantitative management of water resources (snow cover, crops water demand); water resources quality management at basin level (detailed mapping of land cover, diffuse pressure indicators); surface water resources quality management (temperature, eutrophication, macrophytes, turbidity). All results, products and services are available on an online platform. Further information on EMWIS website (in French only)
8- The Mediterranean Water Knowledge Platform a solution selected by Mediterranean stakeholders for climate change adaption and mitigation by MedCOP21, was presented and discussed at Paris Le Bourget during the UN conference on Climate (COP21). The Mediterranean Water Knowledge Platform aims to strengthen the capacities of Mediterranean basin countries to produce valuable data on the status of water resources and their uses to optimize planning and water management in the context of climate change. Further information on EMWIS website
9- The Mediterranean Observatory hosted on CIHEAM’s website (ciheam.org) is providing a statistical review on agriculture, food security, society, and environment in Mediterranean Countries. It aims at contributing to the exchange of ideas by providing information and analyses on agriculture, food and development within the Euro-Mediterranean area. In this regard, various statistical indicators were collected and processed in order to offer essential information for all those who, directly or indirectly, are interested in the Mediterranean and its challenges. Further information on EMWIS website
10- Water resilience is critical to successful climate mitigation. A large and growing number of companies feel it is time to ensure that this is reflected in a global climate deal. As part of the Lima-Paris Action Agenda prepared for COP21, more than 30 companies launched the Business Alliance for Water and Climate Change, supported by public authorities and jointly led by CDP (formerly, the Carbon Disclosure Project), the CEO Water Mandate of the UN Global Compact (UNGC) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD). Further information on EMWIS website
11- The third Climate Change Expert Group meeting of the Union for the Mediterranean was held in Barcelona. The meeting gathered UfM national focal points as well as representatives from stakeholders and civil society. The EU-funded Clima South project (Support for Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation in the ENPI South region) also contributed to the meeting. The focus of this meeting was on adaptation. This Expert Group was created to act as a regional platform, showcasing how a complex system of relevant initiatives, programmes and structures may be brought together in order to create synergies among stakeholders, the private sector and various levels of government. It aims to enhance regional dialogue and act as a catalyst for the identification, support and development of projects and initiatives, both in mitigation and adaptation. Further information on EMWIS website
12- In November 2015, the water agency has invested 113.4 million euros for water in the Rhone Mediterranean and Corsica basins, to finance more than 1500 projects in the basins.
