Climate Change-induced Water Stress and its Impact on Natural and Managed Ecosystems
Organisation: European Parliament
Climate change will affect water availability differently in Europe – likely a large decrease in Southern Europe, while an increase in the North. However, the largest increases will be felt where very few people actually live – above 60°N, whereas large populations will be affected by shortages. Indeed, if climate change can be thought of as another ‘consumer’ of water, in some countries it will be a larger consumer than current domestic, industrial and agricultural uses combined.
Invitation and thoughts about the theme of the 'Water Unifies' International Conference on Water Scarcity, Global Changes and Groundwater Management Responses, to be held from 1 to 5 December 2008 at the University of California, Irvine (CA, USA).
