Water security is essential for sustainable development, underpinning almost all types of economic activity— from agriculture to manufacturing and energy—as well as human health and biodiversity. However, global water security is currently being threatened by growing demand for clean water and increasing uncertainty about water availability. This talk will present advances in methodologies and tools for systematically analyzing water management problems and describe findings related to global water availability and demand assessments under future socio-economic and climate scenarios, their environmental and socio-economic impacts, and potential solutions to enhance global water security.
