Theme: The water issue in the context of climate change: Threat, risk, vulnerability and resilience.
Summary: Climate change has been attributed mainly to human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation and intensive agriculture, which have significantly increased greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. As a result, rainfall distribution has become more irregular, with extreme weather events such as prolonged droughts, heavy rains and more frequent and intense storms, resulting in floods and landslides in some regions, and water shortages in others. More extreme and variable weather conditions have increased local territorial vulnerability, especially in areas with precarious infrastructure, lack of adequate urban planning and marginalized communities.
