As confirmed recently by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, climate change already exists with wide ranging consequences. Europe is as affected as all other regions of the world. Management responses
Climate change impact on water resources is uncertain. This article reviews water resources changes during the past 50 years in China, as well as the modelled results under different scenarios, to figure out a basic framework on the relationship between climate change, water resources and water resources management.
Impacts of climate change vary from region to region. The 4th Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) mentions that drier areas will be affected by more droughts while the rainfall regime, in general, will become
Impacts of climate change on hydrology are assessed by downscaling large scale general circulation model (GCM) outputs of climate variables to local scale hydrologic variables. This modelling approach is characterized by uncertainties resulting from the use of different models, different scenarios, etc.
Humanitarian actors are confronted with the impacts of climate change on a daily basis. This is reflected in this report.
