The overall objective of the symposium was the initiation of a technical dialogue between MRC and CHR/ICPR on key technical questions and approaches regarding the assessment of climate change, its influence on the hydrological regime and consequence impacts on relevant sectors and people in the basin under a transboundary context. These results will lead to the identification of suitable options for climate change adaptation.
