World Water Week, September 1-6, 2013, Stockholm, Sweden
Future challenges for the planet includes e.g. population growth, climate change and urbanisation. The combined
pressure from these and other processes on water, energy and ecosystem services call for cross-sectoral approaches to
increase the resilience of society, with particular aim to reduce hydro-climatic hazards and secure water availability
between rural and urban areas and processes. Although the challenges mentioned are largely human induced, the power
to address these are also within human reach. It is only if we properly facilitate work building on the linkages between humans and the environment that we can enhance water resilience.
