*Following the Call for Action on World Earth Day, 22 April 2018, the Water as Leverage professional teams engaged in the cities of Chennai (India), Khulna (Bangladesh) and Semarang (Indonesia). Their common goal was to identify the most bankable and ground-breaking proposals and to develop these into resilient, climate adaptation urban water projects. *
As partners, Water as Leverage supported the successful teams and the individual cities in gaining a better understanding of risks and opportunities, interdependencies and coalitions. Building partnerships in these cities, around those opportunities, helped progress them into projects. The next step, as they approach the feasibility and implementation phase, is to develop further the individual projects and enabling environment before the upcoming Regional Workshop, scheduled to take place in November 2019, in Singapore.
