This panel will provide examples of how climate change is water change -- and how water is also the key to both climate mitigation and adaptation efforts, particularly in the implementation of nature-based solutions.
Panelists will describe on-the-ground projects and studies of their efficacy that illustrate how imperative it is to address water and climate together, and how including nature-based solutions, particularly when coupled with proactive groundwater management, can provide multiple-benefits to people and nature.
The panel will support conference themes 2 and 3 and will provide tangible examples of working with nature that can be included in the post-conference Water Action Agenda.
