Water and Climate Change

Climate change is expected to affect and complicate all aspects of water-related issues, including drinking water, agriculture, ecosystems, navigation and hydropower, and UN-Water engages with this topic on many levels. UNW-DPC actively supports the UN-Water Task Force on Climate Change, specifically in its mapping activities. More information on the UN-Water Task Force on Climate Change, chaired by WMO, can be found here.

Other recent UNW-DPC activities on this topic have included the training workshop on "Climate and Water Affairs", held in Skopje in April 2009.

UNW-DPC has also dedicated an entire issue of its "Capacity Pool" newsletter to Climate Change.
