Adaptation in the water sector

Project 3d

This project focuses on adaptation decision-making.

Decisions to adapt to perceived climate change will be made by myriads of individuals, companies and public utilities.

Just three of the questions being addressed:

• What are the barriers to adaptation?
• Will private adaptation decisions impose greater risks and costs on to others?
• And what role should governments play in ensuring that adaptation decisions are consistent with socio-economic objectives?
