AGWA at COP21 - “Resilience & Water: Towards a New Vision for Sustainability”

As part of the global #ClimateIsWater Initiative and the unofficial “Water Day” at COP21, AGWA organized an event to promote the value and understanding of water considerations within the climate change debate. During this half-day event, Dr. John Matthews, Secretariat Coordinator for AGWA, gave a presentation on freshwater resilience entitled "Resilience & Water: Towards a New Vision for Sustainability." This video provides insight into the threats, vulnerabilities, and uncertainties facing freshwater and how the global water community can respond resiliently.

This video comes from an AGWA presentation at COP21 in Paris. It provides an overview of climate and water issues and outlines some approaches to manage for transformation using bottom-up vulnerability assessments and adaptive management. (10:13)
