Seminar: <strong>Water</strong> security in a changing world: Coping with threats<br />
Convenors: AGWA, The Rockefeller Foundation, SIWI and UNESCO-IHP<br />
The seminar will address challenges to achieving water security under situations of crisis and change. This includes sustainable growth<br />
in conflict zones, climate change adaptation, knock-on effects of crisis situations beyond the country/region and achieving resilient<br />
water management in conflict and crisis areas. This session explores the threats to water security. It puts this into the context of added<br />
threats coming from changing conditions, such as conflict and climate change. For instance, can adaptation to climate change even be<br />
addressed when more immediate concerns take over, such as armed conflicts?<br />
