Climate change is water change • The cross-cutting nature of water must be fully acknowledged • Water management needs to be fully integrated into climate adaptation and mitigation • Water must be addressed comprehensively through the establishment of appropriate programmes at regional, national and global levels

  5. Climate change is water change • Water must be integrated more effectively into existing mechanisms under the UNFCCC • Existing expertise and knowledge needs to be readily available to enhance the efforts of Parties addressing climate change and water change in a sustainable manner
