Climate Change Adaptation and IWRM – An Initial Overview, No. 5 (2007)

This brief suggests that the IWRM approach provides a framework for action, indeed that the best approach to manage the impact of climate change on water is the one guided by the philosophy and methodology of Integrated Water Resources Management. A further message is that water is the primary medium through which climate change will impact people, ecosystems and economies. The way we use and manage our water today will make it easier to address the challenges of tomorrow.
