International Workshop on Integrated Transboundary Water Resources Management in Southeastern Europe Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina 18 -20 May, 2009 IMPLICATIONS OF CLIMATE CHANGE FOR SAVA RIVER BASIN WATER MANAGEMENT David Meerbach, Janusz Kindler, Peter Shanahan, Kenneth Strzepek , The World Bank BackgroundBackground ► Investments: Sava Waterway Rehabilitation Project, BiH, Croatia and Serbia Irrigation Projects, Croatia Inland Waters – what about the climate? ► World Bank priority - various initiatives ► ESW SE Europe Water and Climate Adaptation Project ► Objective s to inform government policy and the development community on approaches to adapt water resources management, planning and operations to the forecasted impact of climate change . to enhance the climate resilience of selected water sector investments and to stimulate debate among key stakeholders in the water resurces sector in SEE on climate -related impacts and adaptation strategies.
