Pacific Institute: Climate Change and Transboundary Water Resources
Global climate change will increase the risk of conflict over shared international freshwater resources.

A new Pacific Institute analysis for the United Nations, Understanding and Reducing the Risks of Climate Change for Transboundary Waters, identifies these growing risks and proposes methods for reducing them.
