Climate Change and Water Resources in South Asia download eBook. Climate change in Asia. IUCN Asia has a number of projects in the region which focus on building resilience of communities to the impacts of climate change. These projects work in parallel on restoration and conservation of natural ecosystems which serve as important buffers against flooding, storm surges and extreme weather events, impacts climate change may have on water resources, and water supply, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and South Asia. To discuss implications of the above for policy and practice at a range of different levels from funding for climate change adaptation at an international level, to the planning and South Asia is at high risk of water scarcity (Pic: Flickr/Charles Pieters) Climate change is a threat that respects no boundaries and South Asia is now the long-term viability of the Indus basin, its primary source of water. Executive Summary. As population growth and urbanization rates in Asia rise rapidly, stress on the region s water resources is intensifying. Climate change is expected to worsen the situation significantly. Experts agree that reduced access to freshwater will lead to a cascading set of consequences, including impaired food production, South Asia s Water Crisis: A Problem of Scarcity Amid Abundance. This situation has been compounded poor domestic management of water resources and increasing variability in rainfall and climate patterns that have made South Asia highly susceptible to floods, droughts, and natural disasters.
