Separate streams: adapting water resources management to climate change
Although the world’s leaders are increasingly engaging with the question of how to tackle the risks and uncertainties associated with climate change, they are far from reaching a conclusion. Critically, there has been little progress to date in terms of integrating climate risk considerations within sectoral policy frameworks, and water is no exception. Steps now need to be taken to determine where the emerging financial opportunities for adaptation should be directed. Tearfund believes that as water is a key sector, underpinning all other development sectors, it should therefore be prioritized for adaptation funding.
This report, using empirical evidence from research in Niger and north-east Brazil, aims to identify how climate change adaptation can be integrated within the water sector to benefit the most poor and vulnerable people.
