”EcoCuencas” - Funding of adaptation to climate change: economic mechanisms for Latin American basins

The ”EcoCuencas” project, which, since January 2015, has been dedicated to the development of economic mechanisms for adaptation to climate change in Latin America.

Co-funded by the European Union and coordinated by IOWater, the project proposes to theoretically develop and practically apply incentive economic instruments, dedicated to water resources management that can also be strategic structural tools for long term adaptation to climate change.

The Brazilian (REBOB), Latin American (LANBO) and international (INBO) Networks of Basin Organizations involved in the project, have a central role in facilitating the networking and dissemination actions needed to share the lessons learned.

While December 2017 has seen the completion of the Eco Cuencas project, the results of its actions are presented in the 2017 issue of the review of the the Brazilian basin of the Piracicaba, Capivari and Jundiai rivers Agency.
