Water is at the very centre of most climate-related effects, and climate issues will take centre-stage at the 2007 World Water Week in Stockholm, August 12-18 www.worldwaterweek.org).
Changes in water availability are what hit us first with an altered climate. Among the effects: too much or too little water; water at the wrong time or in the wrong place; rising sea levels; and floods in certain regions but drought in others. Annually, the World Water Week has addressed the multiple relations between climate change and water. It will do so even more this year with world-leading experts, among them Dr. R.K. Pachauri, Chairman, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, an August 15 Water and Climate Day, and much more during more than 70 workshops, seminars, and side events.
Key Climate Events:
Climate Change – Adaptive Management Within the Baltic Sea Drainage Basin
Global Warming, Impacts on Transboundary Watersheds and Cooperation Among Basin Countries
High Level Panel on Climate Change, Water and Vulnerability
Striving for Adaptation: Water – The Key to Adapt to Climate Change
