FAN/RAISG Amazon Water Vulnerability to Climate Change and Pollution FAN/RAISG Amazon Water Vulnerability to Climate Change and Pollution The goal of the project is to value, protect, and restore water resources and aquatic ecosystems in the Amazon that are vulnerable and at high risk of degradation as a priority to guarantee its inhabitants a safe and resilient water future to the effects of climate change, contributing to the Sustainable Development objectives of the agenda 2030.

The four specific objectives of the project are to:
1. Generate georeferenced data about the actual vulnerability of the surface water of the Amazon for climate change, land use, and contamination to guide decision­making and increase awareness on the part of the authorities and water management institutions of the Amazon countries and the public opinion on:­ Water security according to the impact on hydrological resources based on droughts, flooding, hydrological work, and water pollution in different geographical units (watersheds, departments, municipalities, indigenous
territories, protected areas, Ramsar sites).
­ Degradation of bodies and sources of water by contamination derived from the activities of mining, urbanization, agriculture and other pressures with their consequent risks for the means of life of the Amazon communities and
biodiversity.
2. Monitor the processes linked to the water cycle and management in the Amazon, promoting alliances/synergias with institutions and observatories, private companies, and others, to support the establishment of a regional network for the measurement of indicators of impacts on water productivity in terms of quality and quantity in the different countries with a view towards a
sustainable future.
3. Promote technical cooperation actions through dialogues on water issues in the Amazon to provide inputs to policies and water protection measures based on new knowledge and the need to fulfill the Sustainable Development Goals 6
(Water), 13 (Climate Change) and 15 (Life on Land).
4. Strengthen the cooperative work between the eight Amazon non-governmental organisations composing RAISG and implement a new
governance model to monitor and promote an integrated vision for the Amazon organizations with the common goal of  protecting the great socio­environmental and cultural biodiversity. Målet med projektet är att skydda och återställa vattenresurser och akvatiska ekosystem i Amazonas som är sårbara och löper hög risk för nedbrytning som en prioritet för att garantera dess invånare en säker och motståndskraftig framtid mot effekterna av klimatförändringarna, vilket bidrar till de globala målen. This project is mainly linked to three of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) established by the UN in Agenda 2030 namely:  Goal 6 - Guarantee the availability of water and sustainable management and sanitation for all; Goal 13 - Adopt urgent measures to combat climate change and its effects; and, Goal 15 -  Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss.
