Alliance for Global Water Adaptation (AGWA)

AGWA is an international NGO working across technical and policy programs to mainstream resilient water resources management, focusing on the connections between water resources and climate adaptation and mitigation. AGWA works with and through its member network to develop and crowdsource solutions across disciplines, institutions, and sectors.

AGWA’s vision is for effective climate change adaptation and mitigation practices to be mainstreamed and enabled within water resources management decision-making processes, policies, and implementation. The mission of AGWA is to provision tools, partnerships, guidance, and technical assistance to improve effective decision making, action, governance, and analytical processes in water resources management, focusing on climate adaptation and mitigation.

AGWA works primarily across two complementary and synergistic workstreams: driving the global and national water-climate policy agenda to support and enable more water-wise decisions, actions, and investments; and, developing technical approaches to resilient water management.
