Title
RiPPLE - Adapting to climate change in the
water sector: Assessing the effectiveness of planned
adaptation interventions in reducing local level
vulnerability
Abstract
Access to water resources plays a key role in poverty reduction and economic growth. Access relies
on a number of factors including, the interplay between water resources, the technology used to
access these resources, and changes in demand for water, as well as the socio-political contexts that
determine equitable access. Climate change (CC) is likely to have an impact on all of the above
dimensions. Water resources are considered as among those resources most vulnerable to the
impacts of CC with different parts of the world experiencing increased water stress or flooding. CC
is also likely to undermine poverty reduction efforts, which will broaden the socio-political gaps that
play a key role in determining equity in access to available water resources.
