IDA SEVILLE SUMMIT ON WATER & CLIMATE CHANGE

said, “Today, 40 percent of the world’s people are affected by water scarcity; 80 percent of wastewater is discharged untreated into the environment, and more than 90 percent of disasters are water-related." Climate change adaptation demands a roadmap equal to mitigation efforts. In the same way that energy plays a crucial role in mitigation, water is vital to adaptation.

synergies between mitigation and adaptation, integrating unconventional water resources to ensure long-term water security, decarbonizing the water sector, the need for environmental stewardship, integrated water resource management, and solutions to food security, industry, and municipal water needs.

How can we contribute to building a roadmap for climate change adaptation with a water resource management transition?

How to unlock institutional, technological, and financial lock-ins for meaningful progress toward diversifying water supply sources?
