The aim of CADWAGO was to address the global challenge of water security through enabling appropriate responses to the impacts of climate change on water resources. In so doing, it promoted systemic and adaptive transformations in water governance by developing knowledge to support conceptual, institutional and practice based innovations. It is by way of these transformations in governance that CADWAGO intended to support the forms of multi-level and multi-stakeholder collective action that will improve climate change adaptation responses, from a water security perspective. Through this approach, it was envisaged that both the livelihoods of communities and the ecosystem services that are dependent on water will be enhanced.

The three year project (2013-2016) was led by Neil Powell (SEI) and managed by Annemarieke de Bruin (SEI) and brought together 10 partners from Europe, Australasia and North America with extensive experience in climate change adaptation and water governance issues. CADWAGO built on lessons from ongoing case research to create a forum and dialogue between researchers and stakeholders at different scales. The work was structured along four research lenses:
The project produced an extensive list of publications detailing the results of the work as well as a number of project reports, blogposts, and posters.
Feature / SEI was invited to share research insights with the International Development Association and Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Project / The Resilient Coasts Caribbean Sea project will develop Living Labs for coastal ecosystem management using nature-based solutions.
