News Shifting Course: Climate Adaptation for Water Management Institutions

WWF-US is excited to announce the official release of Shifting Course: Climate Adaptation for Water Management Institutions.

Building upon existing research in several fields, Shifting Course identifies a set of common principles for climate-adaptive institutions. Case studies from Nepal, Brazil, Tanzania, the United States, and Australia are used to explore these principles and to highlight different institutional responses to climate change and related challenges.

The report forms the basis for a longer-term process through which WWF-US plans to develop a diagnostic tool and practical guidance that help water management institutions to become more adaptive to climate change. We are launching this next phase of work soon, and wouldwelcome your interest in collaboration.

For more information, and to download the report and case studies, please visit www.adaptiveinstitutions.org.
