Water Adaptation in National Adaptation Programmes for Action - Freshwater in Climate Adaptation Planning and Climate Adaptation in Freshwater Planning

This report looks at water adaptation aspects in ongoing processes of formulating and implementing National Adaptation Programmes of Action (NAPAs). Adapting to climate change and increased variability will entail dynamic spatial and temporal adjustments at every level – in communities, nationally and internationally. The range of practices that can be used to adapt to climate change is diverse, and includes changes in behaviour, structural changes, policy-based responses, technological responses and managerial responses, all of which could be related to the water sector as well as to other sectors which water cuts across.
