Asia-Pacific Water Forum to Set Up Climate Change Group
The impacts of climate change are already felt in countries across the Asia-Pacific region, and they are expected to increase in the years and decades to come. Changes in water resources, from melting glaciers to increased floods, droughts, and sea level rise, amongst others, will impact significantly on socio-economic development and the environment in unprecedented ways. The Asia-Pacific Water Forum (APWF) has already started to support water and climate change adaptation through its KnowledgeHubs initiative launched in 2008. APWF will also promote investments and good practices in climate change adaptation through its Ministers for Water Security initiative announced at the 5th World Water Forum in Istanbul in 2009.
