Impacts and Policies of Climate Change on Global Water and Food Security

Session ID#: 159035

Session Description:
Climatic changes directly impact the surface water runoff, groundwater quantity and quality through changes in precipitation, evapotranspiration, and frequency of extreme weather events. Climate change also indirectly impacts water resources by affecting the regional Green Growth Agenda and decisions of individuals. Building on the understanding of climate-water, water-agriculture interactions, the interaction among water, food, and policy under climate change is a crucial subject. Policy makers are in high demand for an analytical framework to make mitigation and adaptation policies.  This session encourages contributions in various areas including but not limited to: Advances in predicting climatic and hydrologic extremes; Climate change impacts on water availability and agricultural production; Assessments of climate change adaptations; Distributional (wealth) impact and evidence-based policy making of climatic change. This session welcomes modeling, field, laboratory studies and impact evaluations on all spatial and temporal scales.
