The 'Integrated Flood Management Concept Paper' has been developed to demonstrate basic principles of IFM. The second edition of the IFM Concept Paper was released in 2004. Since then climate change has drawn extensive attention by the policy makers. Although this issue was conceptually covered in the second edition, it required to be treated in greater details. Urban floods also required a wider exposure in the concept paper. Further, various experiences related to the concept have been gathered on the platform of APFM in form of pilot projects, discussion and debate at conferences and interactions with various partners. To capture the full range of experiences, the IFM concept paper has been revised in this third edition.
