Summary

In developing countries, the supply of fresh water is extremely sensitive to climate variability. At the same time, population growth, changing lifestyles, and shifting land-use patterns have heightened demands on water systems. The International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) works with water systems at various scales and focuses on the advantage that climate-informed decision-making holds for achieving integrated water resources management.
