Anthropogenic climate change impacts every aspect of water security through shifts in water availability and quality, increases in water-induced disasters, and changes in ecosystems and the services they provide. In response to climate and non-climate induced water insecurity, people and governments around the world are undertaking various adaptation responses. While there are thousands of case studies documenting current implemented adaptation responses to water insecurity, there is a lack of synthesized understanding about the effectiveness of these responses in reducing risks, ensuring policy makers do not have clear guidance on approaches and possible solutions. In this session, our speakers will bring together insights from global efforts at synthesis of adaptation experiences and reflect on the entire spectrum from effective adaptation to maladaptation with a special focus on adaptation to water-related hazards.
