  • Integrating water with climate change adaptation plans

    Integrating water with climate change adaptation plans

    Created by: admin | 2011-07-03 08:21

    Associated Organization: AfricaAdapt

    Summary: This policy brief, published by the UK Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology, argues that water resource management should not be overlooked in plans for climate change adaptation in Africa. Africa is vulnerable to climate change impacts which are, in large part, connected by water. Rainfall is uneven and unpredictable across different parts of the continent and varies dramatically by season. These variations can bring about floods and severe droughts that can last for years.
