Paris Pact on Water and Adaptation to Climate Change in the Basins of Rivers, Lakes, and Aquifers

The purpose of this “Paris Pact” is to provide recommendations of actions that should be undertaken without delay at the most relevant scale for water management adaptation to climate change, such as the basins of lakes, rivers, and aquifers. The Pact also calls for actions of basin organizations and other relevant institutions, like governments, international organizations, donors, local authorities, civil society and companies. It does this by synthesizing the already existing solid knowledge base on adaptation for climate change in basins. In particular with a focus on a platform of pilot project experience sharing on climate change adaptation in transboundary basins.
