Mapping the Resilience of International River Basins to Future Climate Change-Induced Water Variability, Volume 1. Main Report

The study presented in this report aims to increase our understanding of the global distribution of treaty and River Basin Organization (RBO) mechanisms that may confer resilience to variability in the hydrological regime and how that distribution...

We then identified specific basins that may merit further study in light of their potential risk of future hydropolitical stress. By identifying these areas at the global scale, we can contribute to efforts aimed at anticipating future challenges in transboundary water management and suggesting specific measures to adapt existing or new water agreements to the effects of climate change. 2014-03-11T21:04:56Z 2014-03-11T21:04:56Z 2010-03 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2010/03/12614902/mapping-resilience-international-river-basins-future-climate-change-induced-water-variability http://hdl.handle.net/10986/17247 English en_US Water Sector Board discussion paper series;no. 15 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Working Paper Publications & Research
