How (well) are we adapting to the water-related impacts of climate change?
An interdisciplinary, international, workshop
A two-day workshop event hosted by the Balsillie School of International Affairs aimed at providing an ideal forum for discussing the challenging methodological and governance questions of how we are adapting and how good current policies and practices are at tackling the water-related impacts of climate change.

CAN WE ADAPT TO A MUCH WARMER WORLD?
Exploring the challenges of a climate change ‘hotspot’
The impacts of climate change are already underway in the US-Mexico border region and temperatures could increase up to 4 degrees C in the coming century. What can be done to adapt to the warmer and drier conditions? Will the region need to reallocate water rights, relocate endangered species, and redesign cities? What are the implications for the regions’ poor in terms of access to affordable water, food and energy?
