Water

Water plays a crucial role in the climate change agenda. More and more these days, extreme climatic events such as torrential rains and flash floods demonstrate water’s destructive force. Rising sea levels and global temperatures also affect water quality, impacting on people’s lives, particularly the poor who are usually hit first and hardest. To minimize the impacts of climate change, the use of renewable energy sources, such as hydropower, are being encouraged. Find out how countries and communities cope with, and rise above, the impacts of climate change on water.
