Water Management, Water Security and Climate Change Adaptation: Early Impacts and Essential Responses
Global Water Partnership (GWP) | 2009
This paper argues that water resources management should be a focus for climate change adaptation and that IWRM is the most suitable approach to adaptive action. It outlines the likely social, economic and environmental impacts of climate change; the challenges climate change poses for water resources management; the actions needed to address those challenges - investments in infrastructure, institutions and information; and approaches to financing IWRM for adaptation.
